“The World According to Doctrine” — “The Great Divide”

This may be it – I’ve been thinking about stopping, putting the book together, and moving on to other projects.

Their refusal to enact Climate Change regulations that would affect industries; has resulted in Climate Change droughts, floods, and heat that has had an even greater effect on businesses – one that will continue to increase.

Millennials won’t get their hands dirty: they’re too perfect to do anything but blame.

“The World According to Doctrine” — Multi-Bumper Sticker layout H

More bumper stickers; less space. More of your thoughts – no text added. Does thinking increase or reduce stress? It adds some stress of course — but it helps to remove that “Oh, My God!” moment — and increases your lifespan.
