This blog is a result of many students wishing to delve into topics lightly discussed due to curricular demands but would like to investigate further. I am fortunate to teach students who want to challenge conventional wisdom and seek further discourse as a way to empower themselves to help shape the world they live in.

America in the fight of its life...
These are the opening words to this honest and sensible 1 minute address to Congress from congressman Dennis Kuchinich. Is this over simplistic or the basis of truth? You be the judge.
The sad part of his speech is that it is true. The americans and other nations funding the "war on terror" are crippling households in these countries. The money could be used in funding for the common good of the people and instead is spent on humiliating a third world country and raping their only resources. Get rid of the bombs and create peace. Not only can nations live amongst each other but can help in more ways then just cheap labour. I might not understand politics but i understand that war does not stop anything.
