Brief (and surface) history of United States political parties. As you can see, things weren't always simply Democrat and Republican; they were always corporate.

So Long to the Inferno

So much for anger

Annihilation

Slips away from me like sand

So long to the inferno

Scorched swiftly in a dream

Never mind to desolation

To the iron binds of war

What would have trapped us in our corners

Locked, loaded and frightened

~

So much for zero hour

For our century of ashes

Blood shed among brothers

Amid a season of havoc

So since we're renaming things willy nilly now, let's rename them The Divided States.

Me being a citizen of The Divided States of America, I am embarrassed by leadership and the values we extol. The most patriotic thing we can do is question a “regime” when it runs afoul. I don’t care all that much what happens to our form of. government . I do care about the people…

Countries are Not Checkmarks

What countries do you want to visit? I have been to many and hopefully will get to many more. The question might be what culture do you want to experience? I have always wanted to visit Albania. There are so many countries I have not been to and I think somehow Albania comes up first alphabetically. For now I am happy going to Germany often as I have family there. I am learning the language…
