Dec 25th, 2009 | By David Blane | Category: Featured, Politics

It’s too hard to define political parties… and why do we care?
I did some searching for some popular articles today trying to figure out what the major feeling was in America before the new year when it comes to politics and the media. I found some articles that are trying to categorize political parties in [...]



The Immorality of the Income Tax

Oct 26th, 2009 | By David Blane | Category: All Content, Ethics

“The Immorality of the Income Tax”
This is a follow up article to Kris’ “Is the Fair Tax really fair?”
Why do we bother to justify the income tax? Who proved it to us to be a necessity? Everyone pretty much hates April 15th, but not everyone is willing to invest in a way to balance a [...]



Balloon Hoax For Bored Folks.

Oct 19th, 2009 | By David Blane | Category: All Content, Commentary, Media

Could you really live in a word without media? I know it’s an overblown and somewhat cliché concept, but when we all spend more time looking at synthetic light sources than actually enjoying the warmth of the sun, we humans start to misplace our sense of meaning. We all know that with the digital age, [...]



Barack Obama gets a piece of the prize – The Nobel Peace Prize. *yawn*

Oct 12th, 2009 | By David Blane | Category: All Content, Philosophy

After hearing that President Obama was chosen for the Nobel Peace Prize all I could do was yawn. Not because I am really that familiar with the prize, but more so because of everyone’s continuing naivety about his platform as president. Although, to his credit, I don’t think he has any real principles guiding [...]

Belief and acceptance of the unknown, therefore, God.

Do you know that you are small. Did you know that in this universe, ultimately everything is undefined.. Do you know what that means? That means know one can tell you this way or that way is correct. That means no one knows whats correct. All we have is a probability of living correctly. What [...]

Have you seen this photo?

You can take it here http://www.gotoquiz.com/politics/political-spectrum-quiz.html

It’s the latest mainstream, misguiding, and misdirected quiz out there. Floating around on Facebook and what not. What people need to realize is by forming statements that don’t ask basic questions, these quizzes often leave out valuable view points that appeal to [...]

Maybe when we were all little it was a little more harmless to be naive. When you are stopped at stop light with your parents driving you might think, “How would people function with out this magical light?” Well, as we get older our dependency just becomes something you justify. Maybe your pride [...]



Public Enemy…or Public Hero?

Double check your perspective.

In Michael Mann’s latest film adaptation of outlaw story Public Enemies, the Dillinger gangs’ historical and influential robbery sprees across America seem to be somewhat justified. Mann’s depiction of public enemy number one John Dillinger is less of a psychopath and more of an entrepreneur or [...]



Current presidents' abuse of power. Excerpt from Ron Paul's The Revolution.

Jun 22nd, 2009 | By David Blane | Category: All Content, Politics

“Those of us who still mention the Constitution, even now, and our obligation to observe it, are sometimes answered with the curt reply, “We’re at war.” We are indeed fighting undeclared wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and an open-ended war against terrorism worldwide. But if the president claims extraordinary wartime powers, and we fight undeclared [...]
