Not my problem

May 6th 2012 13:52
We have become a society addicted to the speed of information. Little pieces of complex issues have taken the place of lengthy discussions, understanding and working through our problems.

April 15th 2012 13:53
The mark of a great society is and has always been the standard of living the people of that society are able to enjoy on a daily basis.

While many view a standard of living by cleanliness and the ability for a society to prevent the spread of disease, the ability for citizens to have food in their bellies, the ability of citizens to have representation in their government, safety on the streets and in the homes of citizens and a general sense of order; it has also been said that standard of living is measured by the people of a societies ability to understand the basics of common sense and decency

A Profile in Madness: 2012 Guide to the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament Final Four

March 26th 2012 12:13
For all the glory that is the opening week of the NCAA Mens Basketball Championship; the ending is always just as thrilling.

While this years tournament may not have the shock value of a Butler or VCU in the Final 4 what it does have is the passion that comes from a state rivalry between Louisville and Kentucky, the return of one of last year's final four participants, conference pride with four separate power conferences represented, 13 National Championships shared among the teams in the Final Four and a dramatic close to a tournament many experts had a hard time predicting
