    Alright it has been quite a while since i have posted on here, but i am back at least for now. I see that progressiveu has changed…it seems to have veered away from the strict entries of being progressive. I can share my views on that, but not now.

   My current annoyance is with society (nothing new there) I use to live in a remote town in
Alaska. It was a bizarre experience and i have finally come back to visit. I never actually thought i would come back, but here i am. I have always known that obesity was a huge issue with that natives here, but now i wonder why they are not doing anything to prevent it.

Man, can you tell I like to write these WHAT IS SOCIETY COMING TO blogs? Well i have another one for you!
A local Amish boy was running his family bakery when two older men burst into the store. The two men tied the boy up like he was some sort of animal and promptly raided the cash box. They took $50 from the boy and left. Because this is such a small community they don't have a lot of evidence to go off of. The only real evidence is that it was two men in their 40's driving a tan truck.  Read More »

    I have tried to avoid the topic of ABORTION, but i don't think i can any longer. Please forgive me for bringing it up again, i realize we all get tired of this topic.
    I recently returned to my hometown for a few days. It's a small town in northern Minnesota, the kind of town where all the city dwellers travel to on their snazzy little vacations.
    It had been a few years since i had last visited my hometown so i decided to take a tour. Walking around the whole town would take about 15 minutes, no daunting task there. I walked past the gas stations, a new candy store, the movie store that was closing, a vacant main street, and then i passed church street. To my surprise the Catholic church had been painted a new crisp white and had a new statue in front of the door. I walked closer to examine the statue and was very stunned by what it said.  Read More »

According to a new report, Homeland Security did not accurately access the risk of certain places in America. I figured that things like the Statue of Liberty were not rated high enough, much to my surprise they were over rated. This coming from our country who has a color coded system on how much we should worry for the day.

The department deemed an insect zoo, a bourbon festival, a bean fest, and a kangaroo conservation center vulnerable to terrorist attacks. The list failed to mention the Statue of Liberty, Time Square,  or The Empire State Building. Indiana had over 8,000 items on the list, and New York had 5,000...am i the only one who thinks this is a little strange?  Read More »
