Sin City

Las Vegas, NV, the ultimate destination. Where you can drink, smoke and walk on the sidewalk at the same time without law inforcement being all over you. The “Sin City” where people come to let their wildest side loose and to have what they call fun while blowing away hard earned cash. As dreamy as [...]

When the GPS Unit Takes Over…

I don’t know how traveling by car was done in the past. I mean I imagine the simple question “where I am?’ was difficult to answer at some times. I guess that some planning before went a long way. This and asking often about location and directions. Must have worked. Not for me though, who [...]

Atheists

http://newsjunkiepost.com/2009/09/19/research-finds-that-atheists-are-most-hated-and-distrusted-minority/ Title reads: “Research Finds that Atheists are Most Hated and Distrusted Minority” Yup. You’ve read it right. If you’re an atheist, you’re part of a minority. And people will hate and distrust you. Isn’t intolerance a bliss? The most recent study was conducted by the University of Minnesota, which found that atheists ranked lower [...]

Collective Teen American Blogging

Looking through the tags that I follow I noticed something really interesting. There were lots of blogs that were having the same title and seemed to be some king of homework. The things addressed were: “Message In the Sky” By Fred Moramarco What is an American? The American Dream Freedom and Responsibility Here are some [...]
