Why Does Your Vote Count?

This post contains affiliate banner links. For more info, see my disclosures.   Tomorrow is an election day here in the United States.  Do not neglect your vote! If you want to see change in the direction the nation is heading, this is the best way you can DO something about it.  Get out there and vote. One of the greatest rights we have in this nation is our ability to vote.  Despite all the messages of disempowerment we receive,

Election 2016

I am sorry if this offends you, but I feel rather strongly about this, so I am going to say it. This is the reality of the situation.  We have two choices for President.  Trump or Clinton.  Unless you agree with a self-aggrandizing, hate-mongering, sexist, racist narcissist, it is in your best interest to vote for Clinton.  She may well be the status quo, and a corporate shill, but that is of far less import than we give it.  I

The Wrong Side of History

Dear haters, bigots, misogynists, and homophobes, Congratulations – you are on the wrong side of history. I am sorry to tell you that your hatred will not change public policy. Blacks, women, homosexuals, Hispanics, Hindis, Muslims, transgendered, fat and thin people and everyone else all will win equality, because that is what is right.

Equal Rights and Religious Freedom

The United States of America is NOT, repeat, NOT a Christian Country. Period. End of discussion. Further, please correct me if I am mistaken, but didn’t Jesus preach equality?

Consider, gentlemen, why you should not be offended. If, like me, you are a white male, you have a certain amount of privilege you likely do not even recognize, and totally take for granted. Sure, you may have something about you that garners ridicule, scorn and maybe teasing – but that is nothing compared to what most women face directly or indirectly regularly. Of course this is a generalization, but it is a VERY important generalization. Men are rarely subject
