Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Undocumented and illegal immigrants should have a roadmap to US citizenship: 1 of 124
The laws upon which our country was formed and with which it is supposed to be governed already provide a 'roadmap to US citizenship'. Just because those laws are not written in favor of the illegal and undocumented immigrants' wants doesn't make them any less enforceable. On the other hand, if those responsible for enforcing...

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms Do you need a religion to be spiritual?: 4 of 53
You don't need religion to be spiritual. However, if you are religious, being spiritual is a plus. The two are often confused or interchanged. Throughout history violent acts have been committed in the name of religion. Before the establishment of the city state, there was no form of religion as we know it. Man saw the need f... More..

Spring/Summer 1990 Pleasant Grove-TexasI took a position with the Census Bureau.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Friendship: 34 of 82
I am always amused when I hear someone exclaim, "S/he is one of my best friends!"Why?Because I find having a best friend is something like having a love interest or mate. You can truly have only one BEST friend; others may be friends, but not BEST. Being a best friend means you must work at it like you would a romantic relati... More..
Entertainment > Movie Analysis Movie analysis: Spike Lee's use of cinematography for characterization in the movie, Do the Right Thing: 1 of 1
Do The Right Thing. The title itself is an admonition to do what is socially and morally right. But, this is nothing new for a Spike Lee 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks production. And, Spike Lee knows well how to make the best use of the camera in getting his point across. That's a given, if you're at all familiar with his work:... More..
