So if you own a parking lot, then listen closely! To listen to past episodes, click here: https://www.statementsofopinion.com/episodes

These days we are trying to be more mindful of the environment. One way many states have done this is to get rid of plastic straws. While on the surface it may seem like a good idea, I'm not so sure.

Here in the United States we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving. I hope those who celebrate enjoy the time with their families and loved ones.

That's because you notice a fun fact or a little hidden item you never did before! It's like seeing the movie for the first time!

 I recently had the opportunity to see John Wick 4, the latest installment of a series of very popular movies starring Keanu Reeves. Now, the acting is great, but the plot leaves a lot to be desired. I can't say that I enjoyed it, and I was left with more questions than answers. Let me know if you agree, or if you think the more John Wick, the merrier!

After a recent terrorist attack by Hamas on civilians in Israel, the Middle East is on the brink of war again. In fact, Israel has declared war, has been bombing Gaza, and the whole thing is about to get a lot worse. In this episode I'm looking at how it doesn't seem like the rest of the world is allowed to stay neutral. And really, why are we stuck in this cycle of violence. It's a bit of a ramble, but I can't wrap my head around it. All I can do is brace for more suffering ahead. Find past episodes here: https://www.statementsofopinion.com/episodes
