As we approach the seventh anniversary of 9/11 people still ask why. For many there will never be an acceptable answer. Not because there aren’t a lot of really good answers out there, but because their thinking is too confined to let them believe. When the next big attack on us comes, and believe me [...]

We have gone too far this time in niche laws and micro niche terminology. NFL player Charles Grant, of New Orleans Saints, has been arrested and charged with feticide. That means he is being charged with killing both a woman and her fetus. The laws have gone too far.
Is it more of [...]

Along with the healthcare conundrum, I have been forced lately to deal with another sticky situation that I don’t really like. The law is supposed to be equal across the board. However we have of late taken a very murky view of the subject when it comes to kids and their offenses.
For years now the [...]

Once again I think race has played a major role in an American contest. This time it is the Indiana Presidential Primary. Hillary Clinton won the state by a very narrow margin but it does appear she won there, but so what. We know many republicans secure in their own candidate intentionally crossed party lines [...]

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me….
I think this actually says more about Photoshop and Adobe than it does the photographers themselves. I think if you looked at non photographic users and targeted this survey to college kids, your percentage of pirated users would probably be around 90% or higher. Photoshop as are [...]

Two education stories hit me this week as blog worthy. First, is about the encouragement that Madonna got as a teen. Secondly, WTF is up in Oklahoma?
From Madonna’s Rock Hall induction speech:
She (Madonna) fondly remembered a teacher, who encouraged her to follow her dreams when she was only 14,
Well that is just dandy, and really [...]

WOODINVILLE, Wash. (AP) - Four large model homes are burning at a multimillion-dollar development in a suburb north of Seattle. An official says a sign found at the scene had the initials of the Earth Liberation Front.
Fire official Rick Eastman says the blazes are suspicious because they were set in multiple places in separate houses. [...]

I ran across an old friend today and that was the question that came up and couldn’t be avoided once it was asked. As someone who was headed for greatest, I tend to shy away from the question quite a bit these days when asked, especially by people who knew me when. It [...]
