Why You Should Be a Full-Time Voter
A huge block of Americans (about another third) voted intermittently, which means that elections can often be determined by the intermittent voters when they decide to show up. In my efforts to convince all the part-timer voters out there to level up, I dealt with the common argument that "my single vote doesn't matter."

Divided? Or Not So Much?
Regardless of their claimed party affiliation, average Americans are more unified in their opinions than it might appear. It doesn’t seem that way when we watch the news or read the paper, and sometimes even when we discuss issues one-on-one. An outside observer might even think we are hopelessly divided.

Why Is a Young Generation Opting for Death Via Suicide?”
Life is so precious, and the right to life recognized as a “natural” or God-given right, so much so that it was codified in our Declaration of Independence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Note that the “right to life” is given preeminence: without life no other right is necessary. And “unalienable” further emphasizes the untouchable nature of that right: mankind was gifted life by its Creator — the Lord …
