The amount of ever-growing ads we see each day has gotten completely out of control. They are not only affecting how we shop and spend out money, but they are also affecting our minds and how we think. People today are so consumed with their burberry bags and lacoste polos that they don't stop to realize why they desire these over-priced items. They don't realize that they want that $500 bag

Well, once again I am back to give this another whirl. The academic year is winding down, so hopefully I will have a little more time to devote to this blog that I have neglected for a very long time.

So we have all heard about Googles acquisition of youTube. But will this buy out benefit youTube and its many users or destroy it? Charges of copyright infringement have been brought against it and may result in limitations against youTube users. What will become of youTube? Will Google fight it out and continue to leave youTube unregulated? Or will it give youTube an overhaul, therefore

So I've finally gotten settled in, here at school and into the swing of things. My classes have proven to be a bit more difficult than I expected and combining them with a part-time job makes for a very busy schedule and no time for blogging. But things have calmed down a bit and I should be able to find time to make posts every so often. I can't promise regular posts, but I will do what I

It has been a long time since my last post, which I apologize for. The school year has begun and I have been very busy moving back in to my dorm, getting school supplies and starting classes. This leave of absense may continue for a short while, until I get situated in all my classes and my residence, but I will return.

"Hezbollah guerrillas unleashed their deadliest rocket attack on northern Israel on Sunday, killing 12 reserve soldiers with a single missile at this kibbutz and killing at least three people and wounding dozens more with a barrage that battered Haifa.

That phrase is really contradicting, since most college students are fairly libreral. In fact with the new cuts to college funding that the Bush administration passed I don't think any college students should be voting republican in the next election. Anyway CampusProgress has an article on a Young America conference and it is really interesting to hear what these conservatives have to say."

So Castro had surgery and turned over power to his brother. How much power he was relieved of is a different story."A senior Cuban official insisted Castro's final moment was "very far away," despite his handing over power to his brother after surgery."This could possibly be the beginning of some changes in Cuba. Most likely the transition will be very slow, since Castro is kind of still in

Has anyone ever thought about how the US is always trying to regulate who can have nukes and who can't. Isn't this rather hypocritical. Aren't all the other countries saying, "hey if you guys get to have nuclear missiles, then why can't we?". Which makes alot of sense. Why isn't the US setting the example for other countries by disarming their nuclear warheads? Obviously this would leave the

"President Bush said Tuesday a new plan to increase U.S. and Iraqi forces in the besieged capital of Baghdad will help quell rising violence that is threatening Iraq's transformation to a self-sustaining democracy."This means more troops will be sent to Iraq, when we should be bringing them home. This means more US casualties of course. They really need to train the Iraqi's to defend their own

I know this film is rather old (like 2003 or something), but I still have not gotten around to seeing it. I have always hated Wal-mart and other companies who seem to be trying to take over the world. Its a shame, the way they destroy all the mom-and-pop stores in any town they touch. They are consuming America one rural county at a time. If anyone has seen this let me know how it was.

Why would they? They're illegal! If they're illegal then why are they still here? Now don't get me wrong, I don't really think that we should go around deporting every illegal immigrant in the US. That idea is a little extreme, but the fact that their is an article about how this ILLEGAL immigrant wants student aid for college is ridiculous. She's the Valedictorian of her class, right. So

War is within a breath, with Israel and Lebanon exchanging missile attack, and Israel massing troops on Lebanon's border. The evacuation is still underway and by the time they finish no one will be left in Lebanon. Now the US is getting further involved in the situation not only by rushing bombs to Israel, but also by sending Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to visit Israel. She will not be

If you haven't been reading the paper or watching the news then you probably haven't heard about the U.S. evacuating americans in Lebanon. It has been criticized as one of the slowest evacuation efforts in Lebanon. Other countries were making more of an effort to get their citizens out of harms way.There was also talk of the U.S. government charging americans who were being evacuated a fee for

The story is that the major ISP's are going to completely control the internet. All other traffic, including blogs, will load extremely slowly. The internet will be regulated. ISP's will control what you see on the internet. Personally, I see this as a road-block to my right to free speech. Blogs will be shut down left and right because of this.
