In 2018, all 435 House of Reps seats are up for reelection. And 33 Senate seats. We have a tremendous opportunity to mobilize all those who didn’t vote in 2016. All those who have a profound amount of skill but find themselves on the outside […]
I posed this series of questions to her: Is fire violent [yes]. Is a fire raging through a forest a bad thing [yes]. But if it is bad, why does the forest proliferate after the fire? The fire creates much needed nutrients and clears away old growth for new life to sprout forth. So is the fire bad?
Arguing along these lines, the protests and “violence” in the streets are fire. Our cities/states/country are the forest. We may need this “violence” to clear away the old and make room for the new. This “violence” may provide the nutrients we need for seeds of change to grow into a beautiful forest that provides for all her children.

This is the start of a project I’ve been wanting to do for a long while. I sincerely want to make a difference, but I realize that the change I perceive is needed and the change that others feel is necessary may be completely different. […]
One must have faith, first and foremost, in one’s self. One must truly believe that inside, all is right. If you cannot have genuine faith in yourself, then that process must be taken immediately. If person A has faith in themselves then A believes the […]
Gangs aren’t all bad. Think of them as misguided social clubs. Originating from a need to police neighborhoods because cops wouldn’t, gangs were birthed to help the community. Their inception was a direct response to social stimuli. The 60’s and 70’s featured gangs with a […]
