I’m confused, again.  When Bruce Jenner decided that he wasn’t the gender that he had been born and decided to change how he had been created he was lauded as a hero.  When Rachel Dolezal decided that she wasn’t the race that she had been born and decided to change it she was denounced as…

Most folks have heard about the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina.  If you missed it, last Wednesday during a prayer meeting 21 year old Dylan Roof opened fire killing nine, including the pastor of the church.  Roof has said that his motivation was to start a race war in…

So, two Canadians have been detained, along with several others, in Malaysia for causing an earthquake that killed 16 people.  And while the ability to cause earthquakes seems like something a villain from a James Bond movie might possess, it wasn’t that complicated.  It seems that the Canadians and their friends peeled off to have…

I had forgotten how white, white was supposed to be, until I saw how white, white was again.  Say that sentence real fast a few times!  We had our house washed the other day and while I knew that it was a little grimy, it wasn’t until the first section was finished and we could…

I was following a car the other day when the driver threw garbage out the window. Hello! Now maybe I’m a little sensitive after having spent last Saturday morning picking garbage out of the ditch, but really, come on.  The last time I checked, littering was still considered rude and slightly obnoxious.  Not to mention…

People seem divided about what happened last week in Toronto at the TFC game.  (For those of you who are as ignorant as I am, I’ll save you the google. TFC is a soccer team.)  You have probably read about or have seen the reports that went viral after fans yelled vulgar comments at television…

In a society that seems to be obsessed with violence, almost to the point of celebrating it, this was a refreshing story.  Kevin Vickers gave the convocation address at Mount Allison University this past week after being granted an honorary degree.  For those who have been living in a cave for the past seven months,…

Up until yesterday the name Andre Levingston didn’t mean anything to me. If I had heard it before, and I probably had, it had never registered with me.  And then I saw Levingston in an interview with ATV news anchor Steve Murphy and I kind of liked him.  In case you are like me, Levingston…

It really seemed as if he had gotten away with it.  For almost forty years Clarence Moore had lived as a free man after escaping from a North Carolina prison where he was serving an eleven year sentence for larceny. But last week the sixty-six year old fugitive voluntarily turned himself in.  It seems that…

Sometimes we hear folks describe the youth of today as having a “sense of entitlement”, but that really isn’t anything new.  I’m sure Adam and Eve had that discussion about their children and Socrates must have had that in mind over two thousand years ago when he wrote “Children are now tyrants, not the servants…
