  • If Fairytales were Reported as modern day news stories (an update)

    Home Invasion by Derelict Teenager Ends Violently Story by Mavrik Menalus A suburban break‑in turns surreal when the intruder treats a private residence like an all-day buffet and a sleepover at a friend’s house.

  • Opinion: Verifying Voters Strengthens, Not Weakens, Democracy

    Democracy survives only when the public can trust that the people who cast ballots are the people legally entitled to do so. Everything else—free speech, peaceful transitions of power, accountability, minority rights—rests on that foundation. When the voting system is porous, ambiguous, or vulnerable, the legitimacy of the entire democratic project is at risk. That…

  • A March 2026 Thought: Protesting, Democracy, and God

    Watching protests across the United States over immigration, I was struck by a paradox: the ability to protest is itself a luxury of democratic life—a freedom many around the world do not enjoy.

  • JUST A NOVEMBER 2025 THOUGHT

  • A POINT TO PONDER_2024

    WHICH ROAD WOULD YOU CHOOSE? There is a road fraught with never-ending stress, strife, sorrow, anguish, competition, greed, jealousy, pain and desire for the material. A road in which illusion cannot be discerned from reality or truth from fiction. One that is littered with “Mountains of Things” with very little substance. A road where much…

  • Modern Society, Such As It Is

    What would you change about modern society? What clearly needs to change about modern society are those aspects of it which degrades society’s ability to grow, evolve, and be properly informed. The lack of integrity of governments and leadership is also another significant aspect I would alter regarding contemporary society. It seems evident that these…

  • SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

    What are you most excited about for the future? That there “is” an ending. All that “IS” now will shift to “WAS”. Whether considered good or bad; right or wrong, what is now will end and give way to anew. As winter arrives, it will invariably signal a new spring.
