Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

How is the fight for Florida shaping up?
BRYCE ON POLITICS - An increase in voter registration indicates an historic turnout. It's time for me to begin making preparations to do my annual statistical analysis on voting in Florida. This is when I dust off my spreadsheets and ready myself for the influx of voting data from the state. August 18th is the Florida Primary, and early voting for it is August 8th - 15th. As I'm sure you are aware, Florida is a swing state, just as it was in 2016.

Excerpt 1: Beneath The Mushroom Cap
8pm 25th March 2017 As March draws to a close I am once more confounded between exam preparations, essay submissions, and a worldwide pandemic for liberation. My bedroom looks as if a post-it note monster with the mating veracity of a bunny has impregnated and spawned across my walls. And I am swept up in the commotion, so to want to be liberated from the responsibilities of my exams, something only MA and Ph.D. student have the luxury to behold.

Why The Naive Mob Will Be Shocked Again
The more I look around me, the more I see it. The concept of empirical evidence is a powerful thing. It used to be that people could disagree with one another and simply agree to disagree. We didn’t have to like another person’s opinion but still respected their right to have it. For the last 2 decades or so, this commonly understood idea has been eroding like the Earth did in the American West to form the Grand Canyon. But unlike that natural wonder, it’s happening at astonishing speed.

10 Tips for Confronting the News Media
BRYCE ON POLITICS One of the great fatalities of the 21st century is the integrity of American journalism.

The True Origins of the Democrat and Republican Party
If you've survived Catholic School, you will have an awareness of what a history book looks like. Wikipedia states that the Democratic Party is the oldest party. Political parties got started originally so that commoners could figure out which way to vote according to their value system. The Democratic Party was founded in 1828.
