Honestly, I was dumbfounded that Barak Obama was allowed to get this far in the American electoral machine process. After all, everyone knows that America is defined by its racism. So why would the rabid racists in power for over 200 years, the same who allowed the devastation of Hurricane Katrina to continue, allow him [...]

What do “change” and “hope” mean, really? I want to think they’re more than just campaign buzzwords from a presumptive Democratic candidate (note the “candid” in “candidate.”

Invading countries for oil while consuming billions of gallons of it is not only criminally wasteful and polluting, but it’s downright arrogant and insane.
