  • We Have To Be Better

    I refuse to do this again. I refuse to do the dance and song. I refuse to allow the cracks in my world to grow bigger. I refuse to allow myself to add more fear and hate to the burden I am already carrying. I refuse to be a piece in someone’s puzzle. I refuse […]

  • 10 Strikes Bill ISN’T destroying America

    It’s no secret that I was once an evil, conniving, monstrous pirate. I sailed the seven seas of the internet in search of amazing cyber-booty. I haven’t been that in a while, instead choosing to preach the virtues of Open Source software and Creative Commons media over considering it a small rebellion to steal from […]

  • Ronald McDonald Didn’t Make Your Kids Fat

  • Isolationism or Imperialism – Should America enter Egypt?

    It’s taken me a while to collect my thoughts on everything that is happening in Egypt right now. Its a volatile issue that needed to be examined from a lot of different angles. At its core, it seems simple: Civil Rights that exist at the very core of what it means to be free for […]

  • Our Government is a Slave to Two Masters

    “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24 photo credit: Medill DC Its a lesson that we should all be pretty familiar with. It is not […]

  • Criminal Behavior should Have Criminal Consequences

    Let me just start out by putting it out there plain and simple. I can solve all of our current economic and political problems with one simple solution: Eliminate all Civil Lawsuits That’s right. It is that simple. The court system in this country is overtaxed and over burned to by civil lawsuits. Our medical […]
