America, This Is Your Wake Up Call

America, This Is Your Wake Up Call
Last week’s Supreme Court decision, effectively giving Monsanto and other megacorporations the power to buy our senators and representatives in Congress really threw me into a tailspin. I’ve seen this thing coming for months now, but I don’t think I ever really allowed myself to consider this outcome a possibility. After all, even my nine year old knows the difference between living...

They Do Not Hate Us For Our Freedom

They Do Not Hate Us For Our Freedom
Earlier this week I got an email from an old friend of mine. It was one of those disgusting, ignorant things people forward whenever their fear chain gets pulled. This one purported to prove that all Muslims are under orders from Allah to kill the rest of us. Lock up the women and children! Fear the brown people! Be afraid, be very, very afraid! The offending email even claimed to have been vetted...

Peer Abuse Is Terrorism

Peer Abuse Is Terrorism
I’ve been struggling with this post for several days. Perhaps that’s a sign that now is not the time to write about this subject, but I need to write about it for my own sanity. My soul is screaming for this to come out, and maybe by writing about it I can help someone else who’s suffered the same torment. I am a survivor of long term peer abuse; abuse that ended almost twenty years...

Christmas Reflections

Christmas Reflections
I ran across a recent Gallop Poll this morning, indicating that organized religion is losing ground in America. Nearly thirty percent of Americans today find religion in general to be old fashioned and impotent to address many issues we face today. With this in mind and the holiday season now officially past peak, perhaps now is a good time to reflect on the Christmas season and the relevance of organized...
