+ more bio informationIs political apathy a natural state or is it a learned reaction? Can the powers-that-be blame the common people for being apathetic. After all, it's us the peons who've made you and this country what it is yet, some of you, who we've voted into office, have raped the American public royally. No matter how hard politicians, p...
Poetry analysis: He is More Than a Hero, by Sappho. Analyzing any particular poem can be an exercise in futility. No one can read a writer's poem and instantaneously climb into the scribe's mind and exactly know the who[s], the what[s] and the why[s] of their particular piece or any piece that they've written. In the case of...
After I leave this lifelessness and crash the home of worms (along with other immaterial substances) it'll be then sun and moon will dip in luminous mourning.

Not only does the different parenting styles effect children's behavior, it also can affect society's peace of mind. I remember when we (my generation) were young. We had to behave ourselves when out of sight of our parents. In the neighborhood, all the neighbors were either Aunt this or Uncle that, we had no fear of being m...
I find the subject of illegal immigration in the United States a comical subject, in a sad deluded kind of way. I shake my head in amazement when immigrants call other immigrants illegal. People whose ancestors came to these lands in the seventeen, eighteen or early nineteen hundreds and after, are twiddling their thumbs wit...
When growing up, I remember when I'd feel down in the mouth or blue, my mother would always tell me, "stop it, it's all in your head".
