There is a massive disconnect between Government and the citizens. It no longer matters how it started or when it started or exactly who started it. When problems get this large it no longer matters what side of the aisle you sit on. If you can’t set aside your personal beefs, … [Read more...]
We don’t have a choice
I’m going to keep this post really short by saying… …BULLSHIT, we always have choices. Cheers! From my perspective, it is just that simple but I know there are so many people that like to overcomplicate things by allowing a lack of common sense and a fear of trying something … [Read more...]
Fighting for things we don’t believe in
It’s interesting as we careen down the freeway of life that we have this insatiable need to box everything up with pretty labels and thump creativity in the process. To be honest, it pisses me the ______ (insert swearing) off. Let’s take the example of politics in … [Read more...]

Osama Bin Laden: The Man That Brought America Together…Again
News came last night that Osama Bin Laden had been killed in a United States military operation, the American reaction has been one of elation and pride; be it through tears, the singing of our National Anthem, or the chanting of U.S.A. But what does this really mean for the … [Read more...]
