Politics, Obama, and Education in America
My writing isn’t pretty…much like my thoughts. Let me give a quick rundown on how I feel about the current state of the political process.

How Lucky We Are

Disrespectful Ass Punks
I have to admit that my first instinct after watching this video was to laugh. I laughed because of this rebellious nature of this 16 year old Australian lad. But then I laughed because even though he’s in a different country his attitude parallels the attitude of American children. The juvenile disrespect of the television […]

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. - Abraham Lincoln

I’m not a fan of the massive sales after Thanksgiving (collectively known as Black Friday). I’m also not a fan of waking up before the sun even thinks about rising.
