No one on this planet can argue against the following statement: college tuition increases every year. The rate of increase has outpaced the rate of income increase in the US for some time now. Students at premier institutes can rack up home mortgage level debt ($100k) trying to get an education. Financial aid can help [...]
Do you trust your friends with your spouse?
True friendship is centered on trust and reliability. A true friend will be there to help you through the tough times and celebrate your victories. True friends are extremely hard to find. If they weren’t people would have more friends and fewer “associates”. I met a woman a few years ago whose sense of friendship had [...]
Irrationality: The New Rationality
This article is a guest post from our friend Paul Toth at Violent Contradiction. “Destroy all rational thought,” William S. Burroughs wrote, while Arthur Rimbaud sought “systematic derangement of the senses.” Those were the days when things were merely complicated, as opposed to complicated to the point of ungraspable incomprehension.

A Time to Kill
In the movie A Time to Kill Samuel L. Jackson plays a father whose daughter is raped by 2 racist rednecks. He murders the 2 men to get revenge.

When is Spanking Considered Child Abuse?
As a child I performed several acts that resulted in a blistered behind. At the time I thought I had it rough. On a hot summer day my entire outlook on the situation changed. I was in my front yard minding my own business when I heard a shriek. A buddy of mine burst out of [...]
What should be the fate of trigger/taser happy cops?
Police officers are often accused of being trigger/taser happy. It is easy to see why a person would make this accusation.
