I keep reading and hearing "fairness" coming out of Barack Obama's campaign. Usually from the candidate himself. It sounds good when he says it because he is a great orator and we ascribe his use of the word fair to our individual circumstances. This is… Continue reading
Unless you live under a rock, you have heard about the economic crisis the United States, and therefor the rest of the world, is under. That it is happening is no real surprise to me. This was not caused by any one person or entity. I can go into great detail… Continue reading
We are the stewards of planet Earth. Really? Who appointed us? Last time I checked we were subject to all of the same natural laws of this planet that every other species is. Sure, we have thumbs and build some really nifty things like iPhones and XBox 360s.… Continue reading
