I Wish. Top Story - October 2024.
I don’t know if our nation has become too political or simply is not political enough, but I believe a political movement is the only way to transform our nation into the country I wish we had. While I understand that it’s not about me, I believe we need a political revolution to transform our nation into a country that would become of the people, for the people and by the people.

Critical Race Theory
As I watch “the war on woke” being waged, I can’t help focusing on the portion that focuses on “Critical Race Theory”.

Shouting Fire In A Crowded Theater
There are instances in the United States when falsely shouting "fire" in a crowded theater is illegal. The act of shouting "fire" when there are no reasonable grounds for believing a fire exists is not in itself a crime, however, if it causes a stampede and someone is killed as a result, then the act could amount to a crime, such as involuntary manslaughter, assuming the other elements of that crime are made out; summoning police and fire department or other supporting emergency personnel falsely, for example.

One Dino Egg, Over Easy
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Matter of fact, there are so many now it’s hard to believe they weren’t always here. Thirty years ago, there was one little dragon egg uncovered and found in the Antarctic permafrost melts. The egg defrosted and two months later there was the cutest little female dragon you could ever imagine. With bird-like features, it was amazingly beautiful, yet foreign in it’s appearance. At twenty-four weeks, the feathers began to harden and turn to scales.

Thoughts and Prayers
As of this writing, on 29 May 2022, day 149 of 2022, there have been 214 mass shootings in the United States of America. One hundred forty nine days into the year, we have 43.65% more mass shootings than we have had days in the year for a total of 214 mass shootings. This number doesn’t include the suicides, murders or accidents so far this year, nor does it include the deaths that will undoubtedly occur during the holiday weekend. Last year we had well over 45,000 deaths by firearms in the United States of America. We are in crisis.

Despite the Biden/Harris Problem
Despite the Biden/Harris Problem Like many voters, I’m not a fan of Biden/Harris. We don’t need to discuss the many reasons why, but I understand the sentiment. It will literally hurt me to cast my vote for the Biden/Harris ticket, but I will.

Educational Equality and COVID 19
We live in extremely turbulent times. We know, one way or another, the world as we have previously known it, has forever been changed. Our biggest obstacle is the desire to return to “normal”, back to the world we have become both accustomed to and comfortable with, but change is always inevitable.
