It’s been a regression of intellectual thought, where intellect has been removed from the equation and cast aside as something to be ridiculed and demonized, only to be replaced with a bizarre hybrid of religion, ignorance, greed, and bloodlust. Why else would those who practice stupidity-by-choice cheer for the death of an uninsured man, or celebrate the fact that one of their beloved candidates has executed close to 300 people in his state?

Al Gore is mad. Really mad. Can’t say I blame him. I’ve never heard him rant before, but it’s kind of therapeutic to hear it, and I’m right there with him. This country is devolving into something I don’t even recognize anymore and it’s nice to hear someone of his prominence let loose. At the [...]
America’s Real Deficit: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness

What do we value? We need to begin to talk about these things before they vanish before our eyes and our children are left with a broken and damaged country, and without the education to know what we were, and without knowing the potential we are letting slip right through our fingers.
