Lately I’ve been thinking that getting an invoice back after you pay your taxes would be awesome- like what you have bought/funded with your money.  I know this would be difficult and take time but I would LOVE to see; this would be the ultimate in accountability.  I am a big believer in higher taxes […]

With yet another murder committed in the name of jesus, god, saving babies and being”pro-life,” we as Americans need to rethink our way of dealing with terrorism- which exactly what the fundamentalist right wingers are engaging in.  While condemning the actions of Islamic terrorists, they are committing violent acts to convey a political opinion, and […]
