Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law The case against liberalism in the media: 2 of 21
While the concept of liberalism sounds awful to conservatives, and conservatism symbolizes an ideology of injustice to liberals, it is important that we come to terms with the fact that there is, indeed, a middle ground where both can join forces outside the arena of stonewalling accusations that serve to fester old wounds, i...

An acquaintance, brief or longIs far from being a friend,The two can never be alikeNor ever, ever blend.How often have we heard it saidOf someone being a friend,Which term not only might disturb,It even might offend.Far be it from the truth to sayThat friendship is acquaintanceOr vice-versa; could a phraseBe ever called a sen...

In the soul-stirring solitude of a quiet, summer night, under the light of a generous moon,I keep listening to the crickets' chirp, as if in answer to the rustle of leaves of seasoned trees towering high beneath the celestial canopy of the jeweled sky. Cozily nested are the birds in darkened trees, untroubled, as I listen to ... More..
