Conflict’s Illusion
Conflict in all its forms has been in my thoughts these last few months. Brought forth not only from the ravages of a world out of tilt, but also by the inside ones that hide amongst everyday actions and thoughts.

An Army of Our Dead
There is no end that justifies this means. There is not a rational, and thoughtful way forward that incorporates this snapshot of loss, anger, and frustration we have today.

Building Babel
Modern communications biblical lesson No, I don’t like using religious imagery as I try to convey my stories. Yet, the very communication itself is perfectly associated with that piece from Sunday school readings, and billowing Preachers aiming at keeping the messaging on point. Genesis 11:1-9 tells us the story occuring in the land of Shinar…

The Next Epidemic
The rush to normalcy in a reactionary world Having been a casualty to the cultural, and genetic entrapment of addictions, it is not surprising that the headlines some would pass by catch my eye these days.

Breaking Humanity
You can paint your worlds any which way you like them. You can believe that this country and its people are this and that… But this is who we are. I grew up in a dysfunctional family, learned to manipulate people and events, to lie and to cheat from an early age. It wasn’t that…

The New Myans
The New Mayans Is modern religion too savage for humanities future? The rituals and traditions were savage and brutal. Human life was not a sacred right, as much as a tool of appeasing the Gods. They must be enlightened, and brought into the new world… As much as this sounds like the beginning of the Spanish…

The Curious Commodity of Common Sense
The Curious Commodity of Common Sense You may not know how you know, and that’s the problem. American patriot Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet a few hundred years ago, that curiously says quite a bit about where we stand today as a country. About seven years ago, I heard the saying that you didn’t get…

Surrogates of Sexism
In a world of double standards, is the torch is being passed? Misogyny is going to be spoken of quite a bit over this election cycle. With the amount of women running for President at an all time high, the need for discertion and understanding will be necessary. That word will be brought out and…

Appropriation of Hate
An incident at a local college has stirred up controversy among those who picked up on something during the reporting. The incident apparently started with a student that has conservative views and a meeting of a group she was forming. It is said that someone took exception to her efforts and tried to hit her…
