I've grown accustomed to the sounds of war in the distance...
Bombs tearing up the land around me, machine guns tat-tat-tatting into the wind...
And it's not because I live anywhere dangerous. Read More »

By Brittany Ann - Posted on October 24th, 2007
Have you ever thought about what would happen if you died tonight in your sleep? I have. Sore subject, I know, but I'm not just talking about family, friends & emotions; although those are very important factors. I'm looking more at the productive side - what have you done to change the world? What would those around you do in your a Read More »

It seems we can't make it through the first two months of the school year without numerous bloody shootings. As I was sitting in my church today, I looked around at the concentration of people and began to wonder why more churches aren't shot up in the United States. Read More »

Superman Changes the US
By riotgirl31179 - Posted on June 29th, 2007
On Thursady June 21 at Six flags Kentucky Kingdom a tragedy happened. It was nearly 5 in the afternoon as a 13 year old girl decided to ride Superman Tower Of Power. Just like any other guest that day she thought she would enjoy her 177 ft. plummet. As the ride reached the top of the tower the cable snapped, just as they began their free fall the cable swung and caught her legs. When she reached the bottom of the tower it was apparent both of her legs had been torn off. I have revised this into a shorter story, after reading many and watching news videos. I can't explain my sheer horror yet amazment at how something like this could have happend. Being a Six Flags employee at another park this is a story you never want to hear of. Read More »
