I heard a funny thing about people who suffer from unknown illnesses. They tend to blame their ailment on food allergies, often developing elaborate diets consisting of what not to eat, and when, and in what combination. By the time they see a doctor they're living off raw carrots and bottled water. Truth is, yes, the milk, chocolate, or whatever ( Read more... ) -

As a twenty something the thing that makes you valuable is your amount of pent up, repressed creativity. It's all about unrealized potential.

Instead of government cracking down on protesters and throwing them in jail ( Read more... ) -

Leading up to WWI the USA was a far more socialist and democratic country with progressive, and community-minded politics dominating policy and culture in general. For Monied interests ( Read more... ) -

My premiss, the fundamental idea that guides my politics and worldview is that human life is most important. The ultimate objective of any and all policy is to increase likelihood all citizens will have opportunity to exercise their immense creativity. This doesn't differentiate between classes. So it's about delivering this opportunity to the ( Read more... ) -

Find a large spring. Put computer on top. Film screen that's playing video while tapping spring on each bass drum hit.
