I think that understanding the most basic principle of life is the most important factor for a good life. That principle is change. We should all acknowledge that change is part of life, whether it is good change or bad change, and that…"

Talk to Stranges - Saul Willams
Nah, I wasn't raised at gunpoint and I've read too many books
To distract me from the mirror, when unhappy with my looks
And I ain't got proper diction for the makings of a thug
Though I grew up in the ghetto and my niggas all sold drugs
And though that may validate me for a spot on MTV
Or get me all the airplay that my bank account would need
I was hoping to invest in a lesson that I learned
I thought this fool had jumped me just because it was my… Continue

"Just as there are no atheists in fox holes, there are no libertarians in a financial crisis."
The best economic minds of America do not understand this crisis.
Politicians, economists, journalists and business leaders gathered to discuss why the economy is in such poor shape and what to do about it:
"I wish that i knew of someone who knew exactly what we should do and what would work."
"We're in the midst of paradigm shift of extraordinary proportions. The Bush administration which took office eight year ago as social conservatives, is now leaving… Continue

Do you support the insurgence in the Middle East?
A long time ago, the united states engaged in war with Iraq. They quickly took out the Iraqi military.
through a 'turth seeker' perspective, it is of course a conquest of greed; to establish permanent bases in the middle east and seize oil assets.
And possibly the age-old american practice of overthrowing foreign governments because they aren't the U.S's puppets. Who knows on that last one.

Passion and Love
What is love?
People leave their spouses because they claim that they don't feel love...what they mean is they can't feel passion...can the people of this era really feel love from one another anymore? It's a shame, you see. Why leave someone because you can't feel love from them anymore? The truth is if you really loved them, wouldn't you cling to them like life and breath? Love is not so selfish as to flee from silence. Would you let your own ideals become so shallow as to use… Continue

VODKA NOT SMOKING ANYMORE!!! Sort of.
I've been wanting to quit. I can't pull it off. So I'm trying an ePuffer electronic cigarette to help me through. I get the added bonus of 'smoking' in my bedroom while I transition, hence letting me play some games while I get thru it. Work won't let me, even though it's about as 'dangerous' as an asthma inhaler.
So let's dive in.

New York Times Article Link: "Sarah Palin and the Rape Kits"
The following's a link to a New York Times Editorial Observer article by Dorothy Samuels, published on 25th September, 2008, which alleges that Sarah Palin, while serving as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, along with the town's police chief, Charlie Fannon, signed off of a policy in which rape victims were billed by the town's hospital for the cost of the rape kits used in investigating their cases.
While Palin apparently said nothing about this policy, Fannon, in an interview with… Continue

Russia and Georgia ~Behind the conflict
Although the conflict has calmed down a bit lately, it changed the contemporary geopolitical world with consequences for global peace and security. It created a certain shift in European security dynamics, it was a test to the EU security policy and it raised questions about the future of NATO and the role of Russia in future partnerships. Yet there is a lot of misconception about this issue, its consequences, its roots, how it got started, but also why it got started. That’s why first of all… Continue

First Obama-McCain Debate Reactions
Got through watching the first Presidential debates a little while ago.
Before I go any further here, three advisory points need to be stated: 1, am an Obama supporter, 2, missed the debate's first ten minutes, and 3, there were times during the debate that I got so excited/angry, what have you, that I missed small parts of the debate.

United States of America- opinions?
All over the world Media influences our thoughts and ideas, Including those thoughts about one's own home town.
Media and NEWS stations have a lot of power.
I was curious what kind of opinions are being made based on what one hears regarding the United States of America.
Are they Good or Bad?
