The American Class System
Over the months I’ve written a lot about our life and the issues the poor have that the rich just don’t. I wrote about how we might in the future do without money. I also wrote about what I want to expand on and that’s greed. I want to try and explain why the republican party and the rich think the way they do.

My Killer Halloween Playlist
One of my favorite times of the year! Halloween is the time to be with the people you love, dress up and act a little crazy. I have a Halloween playlist that I listen to every year and I add songs to it if I hear one that deserves to be on it.

How We're Being Failed (part 2)
In part one I talked about how law enforcement is failing us, now I’ll talk about how our government is failing us. There are so many things in our government that is broken, and this has been getting worse for decades. The question is how? How are the people who are supposed to look after our country, who are supposed to make laws to help everyone, not just the wealthy, have the heart (or lack of) to let things get so bad and unfair for the working class?

How we are being failed (part 1)
This morning I woke up and put on the news, and was saddened by what I saw. I saw a Senate committee with 4 women talking about how they were abused by their doctor. These women were pro gymnasts (Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, and Maggie Nichols) their abuser (Larry Nassar) was their doctor. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, that they were brave enough to speak up but the FBI did nothing for a year, letting this doctor hurt more women. How could have this happened? This is a travesty that in this day that anyone could go through something so awful, step up and nothing happens for a year. These women are in the spotlight which is why we’re hearing about this now, but so many people who don’t have the popularity to take this to the Senate are still out there, feeling their voices aren’t heard. This should never happen.

Why I think Rock Music is still King
I love music, it’s one of the things every country in the world has in common. We may not have the same music tastes, but every country on Earth listens to music. The one type of music I think has always been underestimated is Rock (and when I say Rock, I mean all of its sub-genres as well like Metal, Punk, Industrial, Thrash, Glam, Nu-Metal, Symphonic and many more). When a lot of people think of some genres of rock (like Metal) they think of loud, screaming, or devil worshiping and, in some cases, they’d be right, but in a lot of cases they’d be wrong (not about it being loud though). The thing they are missing is that even a lot of the bands that scream have lyrics that are deep and meaningful and just because a song mentions the devil or sounds devilish doesn’t mean it is. Over the past year or so I’ve listened to people react to rock music on YouTube and I was pleasantly surprised that when most people really give it a chance, they appreciate or even love it.

Ripar's Return to Earth (part 6)
When they woke up, they ate and went to assess the damage to their crops. It looked worse the day after the damage was done. There were tire tracks all over the land where their crops were. John wondered how the aliens were going to fix this mess.

Ripar's Return to Earth (Part3)
The ride into town was short, but interesting to the aliens. They had never been in a vehicle with wheels before and the bumpy ride on the dirt road before getting to the paved one, was jarring. Since they lived underground, they just had hover vehicles to take them where they needed to go, they were quick, and smooth. They looked similar to human trucks or vans, and one vehicle could fit about 30 Torgofians.
