This impacted me more than it should I suppose. I always consider myself fairly logical but this incident moved me to near tears. A man, most likely with a medical illness, went into a classroom and killed every single child in sight. Just to think about the entirety of it is horribly sad. Kids love...

I'd say the Occupy Wall St. movement has already succeeded. They've created and maintained a national and worldwide discussion on economic inequality, a discussion that wasn't really happening two months ago. They're there first and foremost to call attention to economic injustice; if any policy ch...

Mmmm, do you happen to know any dates associated with that by chance?

Well CES, the founding of the empire does necessarily mean they have to act the same way for every choice, as you well know. Funny enough I just finished a book on the civil war where it seem rather close to an official recognition by the British government. At first glance I was going to say that o...

It is objectively true the the raising and slaughtering of animals for our eating habits causing excessive pain to them. I would say it would be equivalent to torture. These things are factually true: 1) Animals can feel pain and suffer 2) The massive amounts of livestock we raise to eat does harm o...

I am pondering the connection between Kr and the lovely Millefleur. If we lived in similar locations I'd offer you one of my own cocktails but for now a smile, hello and welcome will have to do.
