Become the light
It matters not which candidate you voted for, be it Trump, Clinton, Johnson, Stein, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It matters not what each of them has done, may do, nor what they may or may not have said. Your life, meanwhile, how you live it, and how you act...

The Hypocrisy of Political Correctness
Language is the most important aspect of the human condition. I am not talking about vocal or gestural communication- most species on this planet do that. I am talking about the written and spoken words that make up the various languages of cultures around the world- my “Je suis”...

Detroit: The Little Library Capital
A simple idea is having an extraordinary impact on literacy and local communities: take a book, leave a book. Students walk up, open the door of a dollhouse-sized wooden box, and take a book. They can keep it, return it, or replace it with one which they have already...
