Education > Education (Other) Should public school children wear uniforms?: 1 of 39

With as many problems that are known to exist within the American public school system, is there an abyss deep enough, the depths of which it hasn't already sunk? When public schools began to seriously debate regulating their students clothing attire by imposing and mandating school uniforms as a means to solve all these pro...
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: A mystery in NYC: 1 of 20

Excerpt from "The Emerson County Murder Mystery" (working title) (Please note, if there is any missing quotation marks, it is Helium, not the author) Davidson rang the doorbell and waited, sighing in quiet disbelief, hoping this new lead did not drag him all the way out to New York City for nothing. In all his years on the f...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Being alone: 9 of 130

Stopped into a local restaurant late, you took a look around, You'd hardly made any noise, you'd hardly made any sound, But you still felt their eyes upon you, and their prodding stare, You hung your head low, you slunk back to the rear, and took a chair; Picked yourself the smallest table you could find, a table just for tw...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Is America ready for a black president?: 3 of 43

Are we ready for a liberal, black president? That is what is really at issue. America is more than ready for a black president, and even a woman president. What Americans ought to find speculative is not the color or gender of the candidate - but their politics in of itself. Currently, Barack Obama is the only serious black ...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Morning coffee: 6 of 62

Morning Coffee (Blues variation) Woke up this morning lying face down on the floor, I had a raging thirst I just couldn't ignore. My head was all in a haze, my room in a mess, Yeah, I'd been through one hell of a night, more or less. There was an empty bottle tucked tight in my hand, Yeah, my left hand, my drinking hand. I t...
Politics, News & Issues > US Economy Is raising the minimum wage a good idea?: 2 of 19

The much overlooked problem with raising the federal minimum wage is that it either succeeds in impeding business of the means to compete within its own marketplace, or it cripples business to such an extent that it is forced to fold, and withdraw from the marketplace altogether. When we discuss a raise in the minimum wage, ...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Views on abortion: 13 of 120

Nobody dismisses the fact that no other single issue of our time has been the subject of so much bitterness, vitriol, hatred, hostility, outrage, and controversy as abortion. Since the landmark decision "Roe v. Wade" in 1973, which decriminalized abortion, America has found itself engulfed in a singular and unique war, (both...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Waking up next to the one I love: 6 of 24

You stare across at the empty space where your wife once slept, Just a few weeks ago, Wondering how she found out about the other woman you kept, It was a heavy blow. You'd been so careful, you'd taken every step, to make sure That she would never know; The night she found you cradled in her arms is still a blur, You told he...
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Is the "abstinence only" educational initiative to reduce teen pregnancies just?: 1 of 4

Part of the "safe-sex" curriculum now being taught in many public schools includes having the teacher demonstrate how to properly apply a condom, using a cucumber (or some phallic like fruit or vegetable). This is usually followed up by having the students themselves practice the technique. It would be interesting to find st...
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Should US immigration reform focus on amnesty for illegal aliens or tighter enforcement of borders?: 5 of 19

If the economy of Mexico was half of what America's is, would illegal immigration into America by Mexicans (the largest population of illegal immigrants in America) be that much of a burden, or relevant at all, to be a cause for concern? Giving amnesty to all the millions of illegal Mexican immigrants currently in America is...
