When a routine political event is now treated by the common people as an incoming disaster, you know there’s something seriously wrong with the country: The DC area is not the only location reported to be preparing like this, either. This is actually pretty sad – it’s the first time in my life when I … More Disaster Preparedness
A pretty poignant parable on what’s happening on a societal level in the United States nowadays: A black man with a knife was shot by the police last night in Philadelphia.

You can’t trust others to be your heroes. It’s important to remember that you never truly know your heroes. Heroes are just people. People change. People are … More You can’t trust others to be your heroes
When it rains, it pours – one man’s descent into increasing amounts of trouble after his marriage:
Perhaps the alliance with the humans was a mistake: On a more serious point, this can happen to us as individuals as well. Ally yourself with the wrong career, corporation, spouse or what have you, and perhaps 20 years down the road the same thing would have happened to you. One must be always vigilant … More 10000 Years Later
An anon ruminates on the matter of vaccines, and how many people tend to view them as either all good or all bad on a wholesale level.
