Do you like to think that you are a pretty reasonable individual? Do you view other people as rational individuals who are capable of sifting through facts and potential results while on their way to formulating an opinion or decision?

Fashion trends are in a state of continual flux. How do you know if your wardrobe or hair style is amongst the currently accepted “cool” fashions?

We’ve all heard the saying “Mother may I?” either as a child or as a rule-testing teen or young adult. More often than not, the term is spoken with laced sarcasm. Asking for permission is not one of human nature’s greatest traits. We enjoy free will and most of us abuse it by solely focusing […]

Since the Iraq invasion in 2003, Americans and politicians alike have wondered when the war would be complete. Defeat was never an option or even a part of the equation. The war carried a predetermined fate of victory already achieved. Our resolve to protect freedom’s life and virtue in the dawn of a new age […]

Cell phones, we love them, we hate them. They are everywhere. Family plans, text plans, and data plans. Can we go anywhere anymore without the incessant sounds of annoying ring tones, message indicators, and fantastic flashing light displays?

Today’s new word is…. Publivacy. Have you figured it out? Ok, well it’s a mixture of Public and Privacy. They are two VERY separate words by definition.

I’m not sure how up on pop culture the majority of you out there are, but over the last few days, Disney’s media darling Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) has been treated as the new coming of Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan. All (mostly) due to the fact that there are studio portraits of her […]

If you live in any town of decent size, I’m sure you have the luxury of stop lights to help direct traffic at some of your most trafficked intersections. Did you notice the word I used? Luxury. Yes, it used to be a luxury. However, I’m beginning to think it’s starting to become more of […]
