Yesterday was International Worker's Day all over the world. It was a day marked by marches and protests in all, or most, of the major cities in the major countries of the planet. And, for the past 120 years (or so) it has been a day entirely set aside for the recognition and appreciation of the worker. Basically, it's what we here in the United States call Labor Day. But, unlike in the United States, this day is commonly celebrated on May 1st, rather than on the first Monday of... Read Full Story

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." -Thomas Jefferson I'm not really one for conspiracy theories. In fact, I like to believe that the people in charge, the people who we have voted for or allow to be in power, work solely to serve and provide for us, the American citizens.

Of the numerous things I find wrong with the Catholic faith, this has to be the front- runner, the big Chalupa of all the religious heresies that has afflicted our world. Yet still, somehow, people transcend the... Read Full Story

I don't know if it's just me, but lately I've been feeling more and more frustrated with college, with schooling, and with the entire education system, not only in this country, but worldwide. It seems like nowadays (or maybe always, I can't really ascertain for myself) the "people telling you what to do" system of living has managed to get it's greedy paws on just about everything, especially when it comes to education. From the time I was little, I remember learning about how I... Read Full Story

Salutations Bloggers (and Blogees?)!! As you will soon be able to tell, this is my first ever (fully-conscious) attempt at creating something useful, and hopefully, in some ways, enlightening to others.
