Campaign 2016 and the 420: Marijuana Policy and the Coming of Big Weed

Is marijuana[1] a weed, or plant?  That is, is marijuana a plant one does not want, or a plant that one does? Is marijuana a plant one wishes to pull up, or cultivate? For many years, public policy has deemed marijuana a weed, while at the same time a steadily increasing fraction of the public […]Read Post ›

Women’s Equality Day 2015

  Women’s Equality Day is a day proclaimed each year by the United States President to commemorate the granting of the vote to women throughout the country. Women in the United States were granted the right to vote on August 26, 1920, when the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was certified as law. The amendment was first introduced many years earlier […]Read Post ›

Nineteenth Amendment is NOT enough!

  August 26, 2015 marks the 95th Anniversary of the Woman Suffrage Movement’s great victory, the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This courageous political campaign, which spanned 72 years, was carried out by tens of thousands of persistent women and men. The significance of the woman suffrage campaign and its enormous […]Read Post ›

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE TPP

Everyone, me included, has been polarized by Bridgegate and Governor Christie’s role in that debacle. And while New Jerseys nightmare does represent a microcosm of politics in America, it has become a wedge issue that is distracting us from a real threat to our country: The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP is being touted by […]Read Post ›

Welfare Rules – Better Know Them

This meme pops up every two weeks or so, with a lot of “THIS IS SO TRUE LOL” and “THIS IS OBUMMER’S FAULT” comments from people with the appearance and mentality, on average, of a 13 year-old.  These nasty assholes need a kick in the junk. It depicts  the latest “let’s hate the poor and pretend that trying to survive on the […]Read Post ›

Gun Culture in America

“That most fundamental set of rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness — fundamental rights that were denied to college students at Virginia Tech, and high school students at Columbine, and elementary school students in Newtown, and kids on street corners in Chicago on too frequent a basis to tolerate, and all […]Read Post ›

Got Rights? Why We Need The Equal Rights Amendment

Got Rights? Did you know that women still don’t have equal rights under the law in the United States of America? If you didn’t, you’re not alone! 96% of Americans think men and women should be equal but the problem is that 72% of them think women are already equal under our Constitution! Spread this […]Read Post ›

The Whole System Failed Trayvon Martin

I have made several attempts to lay down my thoughts over the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial without much success. I’m too angry to be objective at this point so I’ve been reading the works of others. I came across this article written by Charles M. Blow that best conveys my own thoughts and […]Read Post ›

Rick Perry Just Screwed Every Woman in Texas

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but at no time had I ever felt such a roller coaster of emotions than I did while watching Texas Senator Wendy Davis stand for nearly thirteen hours, without a break, without food or water, not leaning on or even touching her podium […]Read Post ›

XL Pipeline: A Clear and Present Danger!

Twenty-two people were detained in Chicago following a peaceful protest of the XL Pipeline last week. Many wore T-shirts that read, “If Congress won’t act soon to protect future generations, I will,” a pledge on climate change that Obama made during this year’s State of the Union address. But action has yet to materialize, and […]Read Post ›
