Lost Lives and More Lost Lives

Stop! Look! Listen!
UNC slaying suspect charged in Duke killing
I’ll offer no excuses. There are none. I’ll offer no sympathy to the suspected murderers. What I do offer is mourning for all of us, the white, the Indian, the black, the Latin, the Asian, the Middle-Eastern. But in this […]

Who can you trust?

March 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Thought I’d check in with you to see how you’re doing.
It’s been a while since you called me and I was just wondering if you’re o.k.
I heard that you were in a fight again today. This is the 5th fight this week
isn’t it?
You got blamed for doing something you didn’t do and then
got beat […]

The Bigger You

March 7th, 2008 · No Comments

You were excited, thrilled and ecstatic
You had a hero
And you wanted a quick end an instant victory

You did not want a “To Be Continued”
But there it was. It […]

Love vs. Lie - The Energy War

February 12th, 2008 · No Comments

I confess, I’m a geek. Really, who other than a geek would find enjoyment out of late-night map reading? Well there you go, I have my credentials!

To Obama and beyond!

February 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Like many of you, I was pretty anxious to follow the Super Tuesday votes for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. The seesaw of won-states between Barack and Hillary had my heart feeling like I was following a championship match. In short, I had for a moment, taken the bait of the MSM (mainstream […]
