When we go out and buy a new tool, do we aim for the cheapest tool available or the most expensive tool out there?  Is there a balance to seek between the investment and the overall outcome?  Can we do our best job with the cheapest tool available, or is the investment in a higher priced brand worth the investment?

We are out taking on a plethora of things that are out to harm us.  At what point, do we not see the forest through the trees?  We focus so much on one thing, that's all we know we have to fix.  Are there minute things we may overlook in our attempts to fix bigger issues?

Are we allowed to question the Climate Change narrative?  Is it even a narrative?  What about the research that reinforces the jobs and companies that help mitigate the problems with Climate Change; such as insurance and building codes?  If one person leaves out some information, is it justified, to protect the greater good; or does it reenforce bad habits?

The United States director of National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is considering lowing the recommended number of alcoholic drinks for Americans, and looking to Canada for guidance.  How much alcohol are we really drinking?  Is our consumption of alcohol something that needs to be monitored and concerned with at a larger level?  Or should we take more immediate care of what we are consuming on a more broad basis?
