Why Do People Cheat
I have always wondered about this. Trying to cheat on a school test was very difficult for me. I could lie, almost plagiarize and maybe even pilfer. But to cheat was different. It felt like breaking some holy rule that left me feeling like less of a person. I could cut corners, misrepresent and just downright make up things. But there I was, I could not cheat.They say even thieves have honor, a code by which they follow. Was it personal honor that made do the best I could without cheating? Was it honor that said tome, "Come what may, do it on your own."
No man is perfect, Lord knows I am not. I guess cheating is just a lack of honor. I will try to hold on to that.

Thursday Morning a Good Day
Thursday morning and the week seems to last forever. Why won't the weekend come on? I sound like a kid at work or at school, right? With the Bubblews site being so slow, it makes things drag on and on and on.

A Sole Priest I Saw
I had an unusual incident the other day when I was shopping at the local Family Dollar store. While examining an item, I turned to my left side where I saw someone I had not seen in a very long time.

Rights, Man or God Given?
I saw this tweet by John Rich on a publication called Twitchy. He talks about not paying taxes and implies that poor should not complain about the rich since they provide them with jobs. Somehow he believes that there is no class system in America. read more....

This is a repost using composer.io as a trial run. Thanks.
Why is it that children must pay the price for our sins? Why does God, or whatever deity we choose to worship, not punish the ones responsible for the atrocities of this world? As long as I can remember, it has always been the sons and daughters who go to fight our wars. It is the innocent bystander, men, women and children that are murdered senselessly.
Whether it be the gangs, the drug cartels or foreign and domestic terrorists, it seems always the children die first. They are innocent of any wrong. They do not even know right from wrong yet. Why must our sins preclude our own guilt? Then, as if our sins are too much to bear, we kill our own children, after professing how dear they are to our lives.
I have no children of my own. I helped raise my two nephews as children with as much love as I could muster. Even today, at 30 years of age, I see them as the child asking me for ice cream or wanting to go to the movies. Even today, I worry about their well being every moment of the waking day.
So I ask, "How can we sacrifice our children when it is we that should pay the price?"
I know today I have been on the dark side a bit and I do not mean to bring you, my fellow readers down, but I feel I must voice my thoughts. I can only hope you empathize with me. "Why must the children pay?"
