Politics and Culture - American Profiles In Radical Independence

 
“I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Politics and Culture - May 2011

Memorial Day 2011 Tribute

May 29th 2011 12:54
On this weekend when Americans from sea to shining sea pay tribute to the men and women that gave the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America it is more important now than ever that we not forget the true meaning behind the remembrance.

A meaning that is deeper than any single battle, war campaign, capture of a dictator that caused destruction in the lives of innocents and the ending of a terrorists religious campaign of chaos against millions of people across the globe

In honor of the Rapture that failed to happen this past weekend I felt it appropriate to follow this non event with a conversation that reflects on the ills of modern civilization.

Ills that could be identified by associating the problems in modern culture with the Seven Deadly Sins as identified by the Catholic Church

From Left Field: Being Forced to Play the Game

May 18th 2011 11:41
As more and more candidates, would be candidates and potential candidates make their intentions to run for President of the United States of America known; the public continues to fall deeper and deeper into the most basic elements of the game.

A game that has very little to do with electing the best man or woman to serve the American people but has everything to do with a three ring circus representative of everything wrong with the way we elect our government officials

Dear Mr. President

May 15th 2011 13:11
Dear Mr. President, I am writing you today as a citizen concerned about the things happening in his nation and the world as a whole.

As a citizen of the United States of America I have had no choice but to deal with the affects of living in a nation that prefers to discuss important issues with the volume turned up as opposed to taking time to listen to the little things

From Left Field: The True Definition of Understanding

May 11th 2011 10:54
Somewhere between the moment that human beings first came face to face with the realization that each and every person is different from one another and the moment that the current climate of anger, division and lack of understanding took over modern conversation someone forgot to remind us that we lost our way.

A way that was once rooted in the premise that differences can be surmounted if groups of people are willing to work together for a common goal

From Left Field: A Post Bin Laden World

May 4th 2011 13:07
After a decade of uncertainty from the events of 9-11 in Washington D.C., Pennsylvania and New York City and the world not having the man blamed for causing so much death and destruction in the grips of what some would consider justice; each and every world citizen was greeted to the news of Osama Bin Laden’s capture and death in the dawn hours of May 2, 2011.

News that was greeted with instant celebration in the United States of America and chants of U-S-A in a demonstration of patriotism, unity and national pride to celebrate a feeling of closure to the events that took away the mask of safety and comfort Americans felt on their home soil before September 11, 2001
