I give a Dam

Posted on February 6th, 2012 by graham.harwood

This is a letter I just wrote to my representative. Both a cool and interesting issue to read more look at americanrivers.org. The theme here is that I have already received a response to my first email on the issue and my congresswoman didn’t even know about it. This is how you get your voice [...]

A New Kind of Crisis of Confidence

Posted on January 29th, 2012 by graham.harwood

“The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is — and I mean this seriously — the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.” -Fidel Castro Ladies and gentlemen we have now sunk to a new low. Fidel Castro has now called our presidential candidates [...]

My Bad

Posted on December 6th, 2011 by graham.harwood

I apologize. I am sorry to anyone who read my article in the magazine. I said that Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Jon Huntsman were sticking around for the sole purpose of garnering enough attention to get a show on Fox News. Frankly I think any of the three would be willing to take a [...]

Jelly Doughnuts

Posted on October 21st, 2011 by graham.harwood

  “Where’s the Center” Imagine going to the local doughnut store and seeing a beautifully powdered doughnut and you bite and keep waiting to feel the jelly on your tongue. You want to taste that lovely sugared strawberry jelly, but that never comes. There is just a hole of air where the best part of [...]

The Blame Game

Posted on October 13th, 2011 by graham.harwood

I am all for action. I believe in standing up and attempting to do all I can to enact change when I see something wrong. In fact the writers of the Declaration of Independence entreated us to throw off the mantle of an overbearing government or leaders. It is the responsibility of all those able [...]

I Weep For the Future

Posted on October 6th, 2011 by graham.harwood

Ideally in any given situation the brightest possible person should be making decisions and guiding the group. When picking a leader generally I want to find the most intelligent and fair minded person to lead the group. Sure if they have opinions that are in line with those that I identify with; however, I am [...]

Oh Apathy

How many times do you hear people say how broken the United States government is?

Poor American Dream

Posted on September 22nd, 2011 by graham.harwood

Whenever time I hear the song “Yes” by LMFAO, I hear the opening line: “Every day I see my dream, every day I see my dream.” I sit there and think wow, what a motivational song about achieving the dream. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream and since he made that speech on [...]

24 Hours of What?

Posted on September 22nd, 2011 by graham.harwood

I love 24 hour news coverage. I do. I do not feel more informed. I do not feel like I now hold a greater understanding of global current events I do not feel like I can make better decisions concerning either my daily life or when I cast my vote. I enjoy 24 hour news [...]
