Make Us A King To Judge Us

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011

As I have said on numerous occasions, no one is perfect. The truth is that all of us make mistakes, and are guilty of making decisions based on impulse. In other words, we allow ourselves to be led by our feelings, and the worst part is that we allow ourselves to be led by the things of this ...read more

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 24, 2015

Do We Want To Be Like Other Nations?

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jan 17, 2017
