Messiah Obama
His Traveling Salvation Show
Women moan and pass out when he speaks while the press has been in this ridiculous love affair over him for the past couple of years. I have to conclude that it isn’t just me; the Obama campaign really is taking on all the aspects of a religious revival. I find this, quite frankly, both amazing and quite scary.

Information Warfare
Truth as the Ultimate Weapon
Have you ever considered how much of everything we do each day depends on the concept that what we perceive is true? Truth underlies almost everything we take for granted. All around us each day, we filter our input through a lens that accepts what we hear, see, smell, feel and taste as “truth”.

How Much is Too Much
And Just How Little is Enough?
The United States is often portrayed as selfish, wasteful, and downright greedy. After all, we only have a mere 3% of the world’s population while consuming over 30% of the world’s resources.

Legalizing Drugs
A Solution With So Many Flaws
