A humorous poem by Orson Scott Card (I got a kick out of it): Ode on Hillary in Bosnia by Orson Scott Card “We landed under sniper fire! We ran for cover, terrified! The bullets flew around my head! I thought for sure that I was dead!”
Fear is destroying our lives. There are some who say that money is the root of all evil. If that is true, fear plays a close second fiddle. It’s crushing our society, our children, and our families. It’s one of the most debilitating problems in the 21st century. There are many who would argue that…

Orson Scott Card (who, if you count the number of blog postings I have on an individual, one might assume is my hero) has published an article indicating his support for Barack Obama… in the Democratic nomination.

Orson Scott Card has once again posted an opinion on the 2008 presidential race. Although Card indicates that the war is still one of the major priorities of this election, he speaks mostly concerning “illegal” immigration. The portion that really jumped out at me was the following (penned before the New Hampshire primaries).
The recent assassination of Benazir Bhutto proved the volatility of young democracies. Two things have shown bright through this tragedy: 1) Americans should have a greater appreciation for the civility with which our political process is conducted. We often complain (me being the first) about the lack of true communication, abundance of hypocritical rhetoric and…

I subscribe to CNN’s “Breaking News” email alerts. This morning, I was “alerted” to the fact that Al Gore was just awarded the Nobel Peace Prize along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Can someone please explain this one to me? What does Climate Change have to do with peace? Am I misunderstanding the…
