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 - October 2011

The Necessary Evil

October 30th 2011 14:06
In every election cycle there is no shortage of opinions about the things that are wrong with politicians seeking a term of service but there are very few people willing to take an introspective look at the candidates and political parties they choose to support.

An introspective look at the bottomless pit of contradictions that has become the modern election system

Dangers Beyond the Accomplished Mission

October 23rd 2011 12:50
On this Sunday morning there can be no argument that the world is now a safer place without the threat of a dictator responsible for reprehensible terrorist acts and the exploitation of his countrymen.
