Unfortunately, most people don't care about environmental issues or sustainability until it affects them personally, and by then its too late. Why should you care about you or one of your family members contracting a disease like West Nile virus from a mosquito? The United States has approximately 2...

Very moving, very sad. So many young lives are ruined by these, drugs, prostitution, crime that they discover on the streets after running away.

My brother passed away unexpectedly two months ago. He left behind some poems and shorts stories, some incomplete. Pale Eyes By David Auman I stand on a hill Of dead trees, their frail hands too far from heaven. Caterpillar nests, like tattered clothing, hang from the branches. Leaves crush under my...
