“The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you are uncool.”

Caption from my most recent article

“We’ve been pushed to the extreme, to a place where morality is only present on Sunday from ten to eleven, to a place where our celebrity culture makes our decisions for us. That is why today, more than ever, it has never been more important to be politically aware, to be engaged in civil discourse, and to keep our elected officials accountable.” 

Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was with him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

Beware! Secular-radical Atheism-Islam!
