One with a far heavier price to pay for the American economy.

The American Human Rights Hypocrisy Part 2:The Roguest of Rogue Nations Washington, DC January 13, 2014 - The institutions and people of this great nation of ours have for many decades espoused the injustice of the imprisonment of political prisoners in communist and other despotic nations. We have jumped at the chance to go to war or funded proxy wars against those nations that have aggressively invaded their neighbors. Most notable among these are North Vietnam, the Russian Afghan war, and Iraq.

The American Human Rights Hypocrisy Part 1: Economic and Social Apartheid Washington DC, January 11, 2014 - After the re-election of president Obama, I wrote an opinion piece titled Pepsi Vs. Coke that spoke about the Left/Right paradigm. In a lot of ways the issue of human rights in this country is very similar in nature, especially where the media is concerned. Well, I didn't give Obama a free ride on his crimes then and America doesn't get a free ride from me on Human Rights now either.

Housing First Vs. Political and Social Weakness Washington, DC January 1, 2014 - What is it that is required for the survival of a human being? The obvious answers are food, water and oxygen.
