Once again the debate over Stem Cell Research has been resurrected, causing an outcry from opponents. Although President elect Barack Obama has just two months to go before he takes his inaugural oath…

I remember that day, the fateful day of September 11, 2001. It has become a day that no single American will ever forget…

With the prices of gasoline at the pumps, one would almost assume that many people would be excited. One would think that the way people drive would revert back to the familiar ways of yesteryear…

As I was channel surfing (desperately trying to find a decent show to watch), something caught my eye for the first time: Dr. Phils show. Normally, I am not one for talk shows. However, the particular topic of the day drew me in like a fish: Human Trafficking…
