Who Ate My Piece of Peace?
A riddle wrapped tightly within an enigma ... a mystery that can only provide a partial solve ... a list of rules that are subject to change without prior notification. These are descriptors of the ever-elusive Peace: the Invisible Man; a mythical legend of grand stature.~ Mark - Alan: Tisland

If I Was
If I was a man, it has been surmised; I would suck it up and meet the day's challenges with a renewed vigor and steadfast determination. I would not languish in the aftermath of social amputation, as though a soldier had survived the barrage of enemy shelling.

From Punishment to Transformation: A Radical Solution That Would Change Our Legal System Forever!
Our legal system is undeniably flawed, especially when it comes to addressing the complex issue of criminal behavior. While punishment has traditionally been the focus of our justice system, it's time to shift our perspective and put more effort into understanding the root causes of crime. Rather than simply inflicting punishment, we need to develop comprehensive post-incarceration programs that prioritize rehabilitation and reintegration. By doing so, we can facilitate a smooth and successful re-entry into society, promoting positive change and reducing recidivism rates.

President to Apply "Nutritional Facts Labels" to Foreign Countries
January 20th (Washington, D.C.) – As an emotionally drained and exhausted crowd looked on, the freshly installed President revealed the last of ten Executive Orders to kick off the new administration. People who had expected to attend a party celebrating the first independent leader of the free world since George Washington were shocked to find the Inauguration Ceremony cut short and themselves made witness to the President’s irreversible and world-shattering agenda, one that some are calling reckless and dangerous. But not even disarming America’s nuclear capabilities, pulling troops out of strategic locations around the world, or letting terrorists run free were as thoughtless and perilous as what happened with this final Executive Order.

America Has Always Been A Pretty Unrealistic Utopia
The United States of America is both a country and an ideal. The Declaration of Independence put forth the principle that we would be a country where "…all men are created equal" and that citizens would have certain "unalienable Rights [such as] Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." It is a declaration claiming that all citizens are entitled to certain rights under the law because some of our founders thought they were intrinsic to the human condition.

January 20th (Pago Pago, American Samoa) – “While the territories of the United States debate whether they wish to be a State or not,” the President demurred, “I, unfortunately, cannot grant them the full Constitutional rights to which they are entitled due to the Supreme Court finding again and again that only some rights apply to the outlying possessions of the United States.”
