A LOVE STORY WITH DEPTH.

Romantic Realism is a genre of art that embraces values.  It presents a world of characters, whether in literature or art, who represent what life ought to be.  What kind of life is depicted?  It’s a life of purposefulness and heroism.  It’s the individual who lives his life with dignity and integrity.  A book that embodies […]

The title of this post serves a purpose.  President Obama is now resorting to authoritarian tactics to silence the debate on healthcare “reform”.  I put reform in quotes for a reason.  This plan would financially ruin the country.  It would also give government unprecedented control of  our lives at our most vulnerable.  Ladies and gentlemen we have now entered […]

Last Monday was the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 space mission to the moon.  The History Channel showcased the original CBS footage of Walter Cronkite reportage.  It was unbelievable.  This spectacular feat was accomplished not by praying or wishing, but by logic and reason.  Only human beings could make this possible.  I wish I was […]

This day is usually about picnics with family and friends.  But for me I have decided not to go to any picnics.  In fact, I do not believe this year’s 4th of July is a happy occasion.  I’m increasingly disturb by what our government is doing to our country.  I think the death of Michael […]

The title serves a purpose.  I wanted to make a statement with the to reflect the continued moral, intellectual and political chaos of post Communist Russia.  I wanted to direct your attention to an interesting book about modern Russia.  Titled Inside The Stalin Archives: Discoverning the New Russia, the author Jonathan Brent chronicles his journey […]

I wanted to draw your attention to a situation occurring in Iran and North Korea.  Roxana Sabari is an American journalist held captive in Iran on bogus charges.  Two other journalists, Laura Ling (sister of former “The View” host Lisa Ling), and Euna Lee have been held hostage in North Korea.  Considering that both nations are totalitarian; Iran being a […]

I’ve noticed the references to Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged for the past month.  Americans are very concerned with growing government involvement in the private economy.  The Obama administration has made it obvious his distain for wealth and the profit motive.  He took the unbelievable step in firing the CEO of General Motors.  Now the president […]

I was browsing my local library when I came upon a book by Nadia Comaneci called Letters to a Young Gymnastis Comaneci’s autobiography.  I always wondered if Comaneci had ever written an autobiography.  I remember her defection in 1989.  At that time I was fascinated with gymnastics.  I took many gymnastic classes, unfortunately, I was too tall and too […]

I just had my article published on Associated Content.com.  It’s about the government’s attempt to dismantle a Washington D.C. sponsored school voucher program.  Overall, I do not support government schooling.  I think our problems with illiteracy in this country stem from a lack of school choice.  Many people simply cannot afford to send their children to […]

I am so grateful to my family, particularly my mother for instilling a love of reading.  I’m in my early 30’s and I cannot imagine a time when I am not reading.  But this particular article is very concerning.  Not only has literacy not improved in this nation.  It has gotten increasingly worse.  Worldwide the situation is […]
