War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A lot of viewpoints have changed in a real-short period of time. Only in the last few weeks have I began to fathom the understanding President Obama might just be a one-termer — a concept that was near-laughable a year ago. In a survey which from all appearances should have come from George Jr.’s final…
One of the most compelling, thought-provoking and candid assessments on the state of the planet came this week from a Native American educator, who bares the reality of both history and the terror of nowadays. A great blight on US peoples is the fuzzy, glossed-over and near-lies concerning this country’s history — the rape of…

In just a few words, the current plight of mankind: “It may seem impossible to imagine that a technologically advanced society could choose, in essence, to destroy itself, but that is what we are now in the process of doing.†— Elizabeth Kolbert, Field Notes from a Catastrophe Despite some scientists saying humanity will take true…
“But February made me shiver With every paper I’d deliver. Bad news on the doorstep; I couldn’t take one more step. — ‘American Pie,’ Don McLean Surfing Internet news sites can be overly-depressing.
