(This piece is going to be particularly long, because I’m going to cover a variety of subjects in one article to make up for my epic failure of “BLOGSPLOSION”.)
A constantly replicating problem for me during debates I have with people regarding the American political process centers around the notion of rights and what they mean [...]

I received an e-mail not too long ago:
” I would like to support your trip…and you…,but I need to know your beliefs. I am neither party either.”
This is my response:

So, instead of making a huge edit and then trying to [...]

You know, I really didn’t want to have to write this piece. I really hoped I could just sidestep it and not cover it. It’s a topic that is covered ad nauseum; it’s a pointless debate to have, to be honest, because it’s so polarizing and so dependent on the initial premises that each individual [...]

Some people believe that I am an advocate for a universal health care program of a type similar to single-payer or socialized models, but that is not entirely accurate.
