During the holiday, thousands of floating lanterns are lit and launched into the air as a means to make Buddhist merit. The result is astounding: This I must see in person.

Increase Tax Revenue →

“President Barack Obama, the Senate’s top Democrat and top Republican continued to spar Tuesday over whether increased tax revenue should be part of a deficit reduction agreement…” By Tom Cohen, CNN Interesting choice of words, increased tax revenue. This basically implies that simply raising taxes will increase revenue. It’s as if Republicans don’t want...

$1 Billion, Why? →

More power to President Obama but why does he need to raise $1 billion for his reelection campaign? Why does he need to raise any money, he has unlimited name recognition and unlimited access to the media? How can he spend $1 billion? It’s important for citizens to feel try can influence or at least participate in politics by donating money, any amount to anyone. However, lets assume 40% of the...

a man after God's heart: Verse of the Day →

jacobportillo: “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
