Business Ethics: Case Studies and Selected Readings
Do you know what your SLAVERY FOOTPRINT is?
Think about it — where you live, the clothes you wear, the products you buy… much of it comes from overseas where business ethics and governmental oversights may not be as stringent as they are in America.

Population Control: Real Costs, Illusory Benefits
Today they expect there to be 7 BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH.
That’s a lot of mouths to feed, people to clothe, waste to process.
One could expect that the Earth — or our modern infrastructure — was not built to sustain this type of function. More people just means more needs: from power to water, places to live, medicines, beds, etc…
No more does the old adage of a man and a wife deciding to procreate to have two children to replace them when the parents die; we’re seeing larger and larger families come around in countries around the world, putting a strain on systems that were never designed to carry that type of load.

Mrs. Pinchpenny’s Guide to Surviving the Holidays on a Budget
With the holidays around the corner, people are starting to think about ways that they can get gifts for their families and friends without breaking the budget (assuming that they even have a holiday spending budget in the first place!).
A recent survey from COUPON CABIN of almost 2,500 people asked how people were going to afford the holidays this year, and this is some of what they found:

Here’s a story that Web Watch is 100% behind: did you know that it is illegal to put anything that isn’t mail into or taped to a residential mailbox?
That’s right — every stupid pizza delivery flyer, real estate agent’s magnet, tree service, maid service, and more — anything that isn’t sent through proper mail channels is considered illegal use of a mailbox and those companies can be subjected to being billed by the Post Office.

Living Together: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples
Living together before marriage: it’s not exactly a growing trend, it’s just something that’s been done for years and years.
Heck, if you want to get technical, Adam and Eve “lived together” in Biblical times. There certainly wasn’t a priest around to make their arrangement an official “marriage”, if you will.
And while Web Watch knows that some parents are perfectly fine with the permanent roommate situation that living together brings, we also know of some couples who purposefully hide their living arrangements from the parental units. It’s all about avoiding the wrath and disappointment of the parents, combined with the realization that the living-in-sin couple might have to pay for their own wedding arrangements, we assume. To each their own. Whatever works.

World Contraception Day is September 26th.
The purpose of WORLD CONTRACEPTION DAY is, according to their mission statement, “to improve awareness of contraception to enable young people to make informed decisions on sexual and reproductive health”.

Birth Order Book, The: Why You Are the Way You Are
“Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!” said Jan, lamenting the fact – again – that she’s the ignored middle child on The Brady Bunch.
So while it was played for laughs, maybe she did know a little bit about what her future held. And it’s not pretty.

Web Watch knows quite a few people who either telecommute or work from home on a regular basis.
We even have a running joke amongst our friends about those “work from home” folks’ real job is that of refilling printer cartridges. After all, if you work from home, you must not be doing any “real” work compared to those people who have to go to an office or other work location to do their job.
Apparently, you actually have to leave your house for your job to mean anything. You can’t have surgery done over the phone, can you?
