What is Owed
I yearn to see a world enshrined in equality and peace for all. The energy builds inside me just with the dreams and hopes of what the world could one day be, of what it should be now. My heart breaks for those who may never see it become reality, but still I fight and I rejoice for those who will reap the benefits of our works now, and work we must for this cannot be or reality and we cannot allow the world to continue on this treacherous path to destruction.

Volume of Silence
The biggest lie that has been told to us is that our voices hold no power. We have been instilled with the fallacy that we individually do not have the power to affect change in the grand scheme of things and we have believed that for far too long and have been blissfully aware of the corruption, evil and greed that lives with us.

I Was Pissed At Him!!
It has been said, politics makes strange bed fellows, which reveals all the most corrupt, stiff necked, evil, sadistic people of our society. Politics even tho it carries a huge burden, it has been a many moon since it has been the igniter of high energy, and yes even the effect of some brutal battles.

Its Just LGBT
It started out as a slur towards those deemed not normal or wrong. Now it’s being reclaimed by those it would be targeted to. It’s commonly added to the acronym LGBT. It’s so common it is used in the title of a popular tv show by popular streaming service.

Prediction Review
A month ago, I posted a prediction on how the primaries through Super Tuesday would go. How did I do? February 3: Iowa (41 delegates): While Sanders did win the popular vote, Buttigieg won a small margin in the SDE count. Based on significant errors at many caucus sites (per the NY Times), the best guesstimate is that Sanders and Buttigieg tied in delegates.

Biden Could Be Major Mistake
After Super Tuesday, the race for the Democratic nomination is now between former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders. The two veteran politicians obviously have dramatically different policy positions and dramatically different views on how to move the party forward.

A Take on Teens
Teens are probably the most underrated group of people in the world as of 2020. We are belittled and discarded, even as thoughtful, intelligent people, despite that this is probably the peak of our life because we have our own opinions. Alas, adults (and the infamous “Boomer” generation) forget about how teens have shaped the world for them. So, they ignore us, and we are left to pick up the scraps of global warming, the bans and legislations placed upon certain groups of people, and plastic pollution—amongst other things.

Cheap, Plentiful, and Reliable: How Fossil Fuels Stand for Virtue
Dear President Donald Trump, How did the 2019 TIME Person of the Year, Greta Thunberg, become so influential? How has an entire generation of young people immobilized to fight the “evils” of fossil fuels? How does she not know the morality of the very essences that have transformed this world for human good? How does she continue to denounce, decry, and denigrate the individuals who make up this vital industry? How dare she?

Can Political Plurality Stop Extremism From Destabilising Democracy?
Extremist-led Disruption of Democracy Interference in or the disruption of elections is a serious business. The idea of foreign actors influencing national politics, societal debate and policy decisions is far beyond creepy. It is immoral and dangerous.
