Zero Tolerance for Violence Against Women and Children!
By: Robert in Ohio • default • 1 comments • 10 years ago
Sounds reasonable to me and I am sure that many in the U.S. agree and that it is a position that transcends political affiliation, socio-economic positioning, race, gender, age and various other demographic divisions in the country. Ray Rice, Ray MacDonald, Greg Hardy, Chris Brown, Charlie Sheen, Sean Penn Steven Seagall, Judge Mark Fuller, the list goes on and on. The famous people of...
Dichotomy: Tenth Installment "Explanation"
By: Broliver "TheSquirrel" Stagnasty • default • 4 comments • 10 years ago
aQtwa Hachtu was pacing about the room, wishing for the tiniest bit of the eloquence he was known for. What could you have been thinking? Migdula demanded, her eyes set in a desperate, furious scowl. Why destroy this peaceful, serene existence that we have both worked so hard to achieve? That is what you will do if you continue with this. Tell the Brothers you will not do this. We dont want the...
Dichotomy: Ninth Installment "Merebon"

The indefinite line of predawn murk was chased across the sky as the sun rose on the first day of spring in the coastal city of Merebon. Restless in anticipation of the shift change, the night watch was starting to fidget when an alarm from the high tower ripped through the misty half-light of dawn. Ships! At least twenty ships rounding the point! Sound general quarters! Gazing intently...

Night was falling as the three made their way towards the hall for the Spring Dance. I cant wait to get my hands on some of Bevs fresh rolls and roast mutton, Nocs said with a gleam in his eyes, and some of her pie. I just wish the berries were ripe now. They approached the hall and were greeted by Marivon. She had changed her clothing to the dress of the Spring Mistress. Dark blue and golden...

Tuesdays with Morrie and Mondays with Herman
By: Perrie Halpern R.A. • default • 3 comments • 10 years ago
The book "Tuesdays with Morrie" told the very touching story of a man named Morrie, a retired philosophy Professor, dying of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) better known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The book was written by a past student of Morrie, who made it a point to visit his mentor every Tuesday and gain Morrie's pearls of wisdom before he died. I read the book and thought the story was...
Rant About Immigrants
By: Myra Gamble • default • 4 comments • 10 years ago
My heart really goes out to those children from Central America that are flooding our country. I know conditions in their home country are deplorable. But these children and their families are being exploited by criminals who are profiting from this. They are convincing the families of these children that an amnesty law that was passed to allow children who came here before 2007 to remain also...
