  • Always Question Science, Medicine, and Government0

    I want to make this as blatantly clear as possible. The above three are driven by money, power, and beyond greed. They couldn’t care a laboratory rat’s tail about you.

  • County Hall Corner: Loving Hate0

    A common refrain among what passes for media these days is that America is more divided than ever.

    Life can be hard and worrisome under normal circumstances thus leading many people to toss and turn at night.
