Past nights I’ve been coming back with my face aglow, fueled to the finger tips with, what shall I call this, love? Connection? The full moon effect? Two days back, my impetus was karate; I pumped a good gallon of blood that circulated well into the night. Today, my rush is from Wednesday night poetry […]
Kudos to WikiLeaks for relentlessly picking out the cancerous cells of society.
Lies fester. I’m talking about evil lies, not the “how do I look?” “great!” sort. Even if a lie is effectively covered up, the lie festers in the lier, in accomplices, in society that allows lies to breed. So better to rid of them lies. We should […]
While aiding a class at Sunnyside Elementary School, I came across a grand proclamation.
If we ruled the world…
1) There would be less homework and video games would be homework.
2) The school day would only last 5 seconds
3) We would learn a new language instead of math
4) There would be more field trips to fun places
5) […]
The Supreme Court made a ruling yesterday that allows corporations and unions to contribute as much money as they want, to political campaigns. On a 5 against 4 ruling, they said limits on campaign contribution violates constitutional rights to freedom of speech.

Like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, I clicked through pages online, first looking for places to go on Thanksgiving, then looking for teaching jobs, and eventually reading an article on child slavery. An estimated 50,000 slaves (many children from Haiti) live in homes across the United States as domestic unpaid laborers. (Read here for […]

The website offers world statistics (like income, weather, health, technology patents, population, etc.) allowing the users to choose the X and Y variables to create a timeline of moving colourful bubble graphs. To do this, go to Gapminder World, and choose your own variables by clicking on the axis titles; […]
Elena Filatova is Russian. She loves to ride her motorcycle. Her favourite site to visit is the dead zone in Chernobyl. She keeps a photo journal here.
On Friday April 26, 1986, a Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded due to a combination of human and mechanical error. 23 years later, animals and plants have started to take […]
Out of curiosity, I’ve been doing some research regarding general infant health matters, like reasons for SIDs, signs of autism and diabetes in children, etc. The more I dig, the more I find. I stumbled upon a new chapter, something I’d heard about before but never looked into; the dangers of vaccinations.
From this website: “One […]
Jury Team is a British non-party affiliated organization that democratically elects (through texting) one candidate to support his/her potential to becoming a British Member of Parliament.
My dad has become part of this new drive, so if you live in Great Britain, click here and vote for George Meegan!
To vote: Text “GEOMEE01″ to Jury Team text […]
It’s even got a name. “Colony Collapse Disorder“. My brother had heard about it last year in the UK. My mum waited in line to buy a book, “The Collapse of the Honeybee and the coming Agricultural Crisis“, in Japan. How come I haven’t heard much about it in the US?
This phenomenon of disappearing adult […]
