Thanksgiving is a time for many to have a week off from school and spend it with family and friends.

The meme read, “there are two kinds of people when Christmas decorations appear in the shops.” Below was a picture of Buddy the Elf and King Theoden from Lord of the Rings. Needless to say, I was certainly the solemn King Theoden stating, “so it begins.” Now, this article isn’t a … Continue reading What’s the Rush?
Laws, we are told, apply equally to all citizens. If you break a law, you’ll get punished for it regardless of social standing, race, sexuality, religion, etc. Justice is blind.
