A Short Commentary on Religion (or Life Is Full of Wonderment) There is a smart, shrewd business consultant by the name of Clay Christiansen who helps companies stay competitive in our wonderfully competitive society. When it comes to his religion, he is convinced, after much heartfelt & prayerful seeking, that Mormonism, which happens to be the religion he was raised in, is the One True Faith. It is his assertion that modern Christianity broke from its genuine roots in the 3rd & 4th ...

Conviction I've searched for conviction, but Fni not sure where it lies. I've looked.tor it in tne striving of the passionate, in the eyes of the nodding heads; I've listened for it carefully in the rising octaves of the storytellers and the whispers of those whose homes are shadows; but I never found it until I stopped looking. Maybe because conviction is something only seen in it's absence. Or maybe because so many people have painted their passion and agreement the shad...

Editorial- The Benefit Seen Sunset. You can't see, but you feel it. The waffs are cooling. Somewhere out there the sky is full of irrelevant, beautiful, wasted colors. The slivers of light usually visible through the cracks of the doors disappear in resignation like tired old guards. On the other side of the wall a lifetime thick, animals change shifts and the sun takes its intermission before beginning its other role as dawn. You're watching your show as that thought about walls th...

Eyes wide in a field of Haze By: Gillan M. Wlatoro fiprll 33, 20:15 My ear was ringing. I was off balance as I turned; the side and back of my head on fire. My target momentarily forgotten, I repositioned myself and swung my fists fiercely at the faceless opponent who had managed to attack from my blind spot. I make contact, and down he goes. Almost immediately, a mace grenade detonates two feet away from me, and I'm half blind and unable to breathe. I'm overwhelmed by two incoming a...

Mass incarceration is a very caustic social disorder that humanity has yet to recognize as destructive. Although history has proven that countries, such as England and Great Britain, have learnt that they should not hold humans in a cage. Allowing them some freedom by sending them to another land mass, and using them as a physical insertion of colonization. Prisoners from these established countries were released, but placed on a boat and floated to the Americas. The ensuing damage is what we...

The winds that whistle through the valley of Mexico whisper. They don't howl, don't scream or beat or bellow. They are old and somber, patient, intelligent, sentient-nothing hectic like the blister of New York or the chorus of hopes deferred that flows through L.A., not the shattered pane that flies over Europe or winds thick with the pleas of a third world metropolis. It's as if the valley is an old sage, the hills and rivers the subtleties of his face, his soft exhales the br...

Restricted Access: A Crime in Punishment By: Gilian M. Villatoro July 15, 2015 What a pitiful creature. I shifted in my chair attempting to clear the old man from my peripheral vision—-desperately attempting to concentrate on my research. His pleas and attempts to compromise with the Law Library staff employee only intensified, so I shifted back again to look at the old man in the wheelchair. Pitiful, is what I had thought when I saw him as I walked in thirty minutes earlier. His long patchy ...

There is nothing in nature that is greedy, and survives. - Anonymous Greetings, It's been a short while since we corresponded, and I wanted to send you this piece: When Logic Meets The Law When the high school graduate, ready to leave his parents house and make a life for himself, said that he wanted to live naturally, in sync with the self-renewing system of t...
