While it is easier to take in every prospective, even online one can not get away from the futility of life and the sorrows of our world. In an attempt to grapple with my own feelings on the issues, I have taken up my pen and written a number of couplets. Hopefully this will become a daily activity.

twenty five lives given for what...
Jon Huntsman joins the major for-
