Vaxxing vagaries
18FEB2022; 0601, FRI Peace and good tidings to all reading this right now; except for the corrupt pols who mandate their arbitrary, odious, and often hypocritical will upon the peeps that they supposedly represent. I'm looking at all of you unmasked and "photogenic" lawmakers forcing the children and "the help" in the pics with y'all to be properly masked while your smiles shine approx. as bright as the blood diamonds mysteriously afforded by an almost arguably modest "public servant's" salary.

Learning About Afghanistan in 5 Documentaries
When two planes hit the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11th, 2001, it was inevitable that the US would be out for blood. When it was revealed that the man responsible for the terrorist attack was Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, it was clear that he wasn't going to get away with this. Where was he at that time? He was holed up in Afghanistan where he had been allowed to grow his terrorist network thanks to the Taliban.

A Letter to the President-Elect and Vice President-Elect
It’s undeniable that the last four years have been some of the most stressful and frightening for many people in the United States. Even groups that were already routinely targeted and vulnerable to higher rates of violence saw more violence done to them under the Trump administration. For others (almost exclusively white conservatives) it has been a freeing experience in which they felt emboldened to shed the facade of progressive ideology and anti-bigotry.

The Year 2020 A Year Of Extremes
What started out in January of 2020 half a world away is where we should have known the dangers that lay ahead. But, we were either ill informed or were denied the opportunity to acquire and safely implement the safety protocols that would have minimized the disasters we are facing today. The levels of incompetence of the Trump Administration in response to this Global Pandemic has led the United States into the worst catastrophe since the Great Depression. The medical community is at the breaking point due to lack of leadership to unify a national response to curb the steady growth of this very deadly virus.

Society 2.0 - Chapter 1
Introduction What I'm writing here could probably be better classified as Science Fiction than contemporary sociology. That is because there is an important context that is intrinsic to all of these ideas. I think it's important to share this context first because without it, these ideas will just look like idealistic ramblings.

New American Reconstruction
America is witnessing her system crumbling before her eyes from the American Senate to Hollywood. I am a citizen of this country, a natural born citizen yet thanks to this country's uncomfortable history with my people I am denied the right to be free to be myself. I am proposing we consider a change for this country. A new reconstruction era that will not only steer us as far away from this current crossroad we find ourselves in today but to take us to a peace unrivaled by any other peace we've ever had in this country before.

Trust Issues – Part 2
To any human being who has been an observer of events, especially recent events, it is apparent that a mentality of low trust is rotting away at the gears that allow our global human civilization to operate. How did it get this way? Is there a way for us to rebuild trust within our society? As the Human Civilization Reformation Coalition, we believe that there is a way forward to overcoming the pitfalls that this low trust mentality has fostered in our global human civilization. We believe that there are two elements required to rebuild trust, whether the attempt is to rebuild trust between two individual people, an individual and an institution or even between two institutions, these two elements seem to hold as almost absolute truths when it comes to building or in this case rebuilding trust among two parties.

In the effort of a continuous conversation concerning the problems that face humanity and the potential solutions towards these problems, we feel there is no other time appropriate for a discussion revolving the issue of our species existing in a low trust society.

News Reaction Omnibus
This Article will address certain things in the news. I am going to be strict to the point in this one. This because what I am going to say does not fill the prerequisite of a lengthy article. Therefore, I will just give a quick few paragraphs on the events affecting the world today.
