Here's the version I created: After Whitman's “There Was A Child” There was a child went forth every day; and the first object she looked upon, that object she became; And that object became part of her for the day, or a certain part o...  [Read More]

Now, here's your exercise. Write down anything you can remember from when you were a young child, say around 5 or 6, or some time when you have good memories. Remember how your surroundings looked--the sights, the sounds, the things you did, the peop...  [Read More]

I thought this was a very interesting exercise in class, and thought you all might enjoy it as well. While I prefer fiction to poetry, I rather enjoyed this assignment. I'd love to see what you come up with as well. Here is Whitman's poem that you'...  [Read More]

Chapter 2 Ta'lith'ra circled the carnage searching for enemies with the rest of the wing of dragons, her fully spread white wings nearly transparent against the sky. She dove suddenly, shrieking. Jailyn knew she was flying to her rider, and ran towa...  [Read More]

I'm hoping to have some kind of title for this soon. I have to write a novella for my creative writing class, so I thought I'd share the chapters here, too, as I get them done. I had to write a scene for this week's class, and so here it is. ------...  [Read More]

Jae: It is far easier for corruption to flourish in closed rather than open markets. It's far harder for a beurocrat to demand a bribe to let goods into the country when the law say all gods are alowed to enter. Sure, it'll still exist, but it is har...  [Read More]

I like the idea of free trade in principle. In Real Life, however, it's so tied up with bureacracy, nepotism, backroom deals between politicians, and outright fraud (IP theft, for instance), that there are going to be problems as a result. I'm not en...  [Read More]

Of course I have to play at least on Jedi, it's one one of the reasons I love Star Wars, after all. However, I'll probably end up playing one of every class/profession that they have, just to try them all out and have a nice variety of toons to play...  [Read More]

Yeah because it's treated as a disease which it isn't. I disagree. It is considered a disorder. (http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/default.htm) Even the Autism Society of America calls it a disorder. (http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer?pag...  [Read More]

Assumptions--God exists, God created and maintains the universe (and thus has the knowledge to do so). Given the order found in the laws of science and nature, I think we can ascribe some level of understanding to God that He has organized the univer...  [Read More]

It's not a matter of telling someone what they need or don't need. It's not tyranny, or anything like that. It's an indisputable fact: no one needs $250 000 a year - especially now, when there are hard working, every day people forced into unemployme...  [Read More]
