I wrote this some time ago and my thoughts have changed some, but ultimately have the same sentiments. I hope you do not hear what I am not saying. I am very grateful to live in America. In my opinion, It is the best country to live in as of right now, but I thinkContinue Reading

Truth: What Is It and Why Does It Matter?
