The lines from Simon and Garfunkel’s song 59th Street Bridge: Slow down, you move too fast You’ve got to make the morning last Just kickin’ down the cobble stones Looking for fun and feeling groovy Ba da-da-da da da, feelin’ groovy Hello lamppost, what’cha knowin’? I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’ Ain’tcha got no…
This will be a war like none other. It’s not about people dying. In World War I and World War II they fought over resources, territory and ideology and tens of millions died. I envision World War III to be about economics and a cyber war will replace the troops, tanks and bombers of…

The title may be a bit misleading as the real premise here is the fact that the 2nd Amendment has trampled the 1st Amendment. Where and how you ask? In Utah. I am not writing this to debate the merits of Anita Sarkeesian, who is a feminist that is challenging the stereotypes of women…
