On Vox: Nostalgia
I'm in the mood to write. Write this second! Or, right this second. But, alas, I really don't have the time. And what would I say anyway?

Consider, engineers work in a mostly male setting with little female interaction and are specialized in a trade that isn't exactly social. So when the finance group, purchasing ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: Racism, the modern flavor
I am moved to respond to such a disgusting mentality of my peers at the University of Michigan, as commented on an article by the University's newspaper:
It seems now that I've trolled to the bottom of this flame war, that Alum 70 has said all that I had wanted to say; albeit in a different manner.
But to the point, I am appalled and ashamed ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The book starts out with an analytical discussion of Nietzche, a person I personally distaste and an action which
