I’ve been following this subject for awhile and came across a reddit comment that neatly and perfectly organized the troubling relationships Trump has with Putin allies and Russian mobsters. Forgive me as I forgot the commentor’s user name, but feel free to do your own research.
Read more "A Comprehensive List of Trump’s Close Ties to RUSSIA"So I accidentally wrote an essay on stupidity in response to an article about stupid people having more friends. My accidental essay was responding both to the main article and a comment claiming it was more about introverts vs extroverts. I think I make sense here, and for this being a stream of thought, I […]

Read more "Wild Onions on the River (Chapter 43 from Life on a Treadmill)"We are all one race but we are not all one. We all have traditions and cultures unique to our communities and social circles.

Read more "A Letter to Bernie Sanders"The one thing about my generation and the ones coming up is that, for the most part, we are truly more empathetic and accepting than any generation that’s come before us.
