  • The Guitars at Gitmo

    October 24, 2009

    • This sounds a bit weird despite its tragic resonances. One can imagine that in Guantanamo Bay some kinds of music might be considered torture simply because of their quality. Here we are talking decibel levels to “help break uncooperative detainees”.Musicians have joined the coalition that is backing Barack Obama’s shut down plan for the camp for terrorist suspects. The group is depending ...

  • The Great Exploitation Proliferation Chapter 10 (Post date: Oct. 17, 2009)

    October 10, 2009

    • As a child, my beloved grandmother used to give us "medicine" A spoon full of some natural extract that we called cough syrup. She used to make sassaphras tea. I remember that I would've taken anything from my granny because whatever my granny gave me was good and trusted. Of course, my innocence played a big part to my gullible outlook. Growing up allowed me to transform that same ...

  • Rescue-- "Too Much the Hero - Saving Myself through Writing"

    October 7, 2009

    • I’ve always tried to be the hero.  Since I first picked up a comic book or a novel, I was trying to be that guy who saved everyone—the dog, the damsel, the world.  Growing up, I pretended to be Sgt Rock and Sgt Fury from comics.  I was Thor and Captain America and Captain Marvel.  I had power and needed to save those weaker than me.  I read Hemingway and Tolkien and Brooks and learned ...

  • The Great Exploitation Proliferation Chapter 8

    October 4, 2009

    • Mass confusion...and yet everyone is right in their own right. The component of emotions that run contradictory to our beliefs can give the impression of a person being at war with himself. The significant benefits one can monitor and achieve with the disciplines of self-control, versus giving way to every urge and desire of the human body's pleasure, is tremendous. The great division of ...

    • (Yes, I know this is a long post. With no pictures. It's important. Please read through to the end. And then pass it on.)While I was out of town last week, I received word of three attempts to remove two of my books from high school classrooms, Twisted and Speak.The challenge I have the least information on is apparently taking place at Downingtown West High School in Downingtown, PA.

    September 20, 2009

    •  The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 has many conspiracy theories tied to it’s purpose. I’m going to outline some of the top conspiracy theories published online and abroad in relation to the FRA of 1913.1. The Rothschild’s family is controlling the world through the Federal Reserve Banking system and often manufactures wars and rumors of wars between countries to manipulate currency.2. ...

  • 9/11 plus 8

    September 12, 2009

    • Today, on the eighth anniversary of 9/11, many channels ran specials, some of which I DVR'ed. After watching one tonight, taped in 2002, interviewing photographers who captured images that day, watching unbelievable images documented that day, I felt compelled to write something - if not to honor the people who suffered and died on that day (and in the subsequent years in Iraq, Afghanistan, and ...

  • Shining Seas

    September 11, 2009

    • It’s a gray and rainy day here in New Jersey, making this year’s anniversary of  9/11 a particularly poignant one. Today was only my third day back at school; after the morning announcements our chorus sang a lovely rendition of “America the Beautiful.” As their young and hopeful voices filled the hallways, I couldn't help but think that if America ever needed God's grace, it was now. ...
