The Power of Whatever

Wellness Poetry by Chris Bunton Whatever! I probably say it a dozen times a day, and it makes things feel better. It has an odd power to shift the mind off the subject at hand and on to other things.

Healthy Opinions by Chris Bunton We hear calls for free universal healthcare. But, why don’t we demand a healthy society?
