Free speech and our legal entitlement to memorialize our thoughts, opinions and our own history as people are fundamental rights guaranteed to United State citizens. I have recently learned however, even these can be open to interpretation and litigation, and unless you go out of your way with malicious intent, you have a…
Everyone is pretty much the same…
I blog, I tweet, I stumble, I Pin and I Facebook. I spend hours 'connecting' with the world through my computer. Friends from yesteryear as well as new ones, the internet has given people an international audience to promote causes, share lives, seek new friendships and reconnect with old ones. The things I write about have…
Help! The country has lost its way and who cares? We have a government that spends and spends with no regard to balancing the budget or lowering taxes. We now learn the IRS which is persecuting and singling out conservative groups is using taxpayer money for parties, conferences and 'swag bags'. If I ran my…
Good vs Evil
Every day we have a choice to make; do something positive in the world or do something bad.

We live in a country that gives us wonderful things. Freedom, a voice and choices. Although we all come from different parts of the world, as a nation true Americans are proud of our history and traditions. Today July 4th is our nations birthday and while we all go to the beach, attend bar b cues…
Osama Bin Laden is dead!
Osama Bin Laden is dead and the United States can celebrate his passing. Not that as a people we relish the death of someone, but because of the terror and angst Bin Laden has inflicted upon this country. Everyone's lives have been affected by this terrorist, whether or not you lived in New York, D.C. or Pennsylvania…
