On The Wings Of Yesterday

On The Wings Of Yesterday

From David Anthony Hohol… The summer, for most of my life, has always meant time on the family farm. Sitting in the same house where my father was raised, the same house in which my grandfather was born, and the same house my great grandfather built with his own hands with timber from the trees [...]

Trash And The Monkey

From David Anthony Hohol… As I drive down the highway, and as it’s been for what seems like forever this time of year, my mind is filled with memories. I am on a long journey to see an old friend. Reggie and I have always been friends. My mom always told me, right up until [...]

Nuclear Ambitions: Iranian Swagger Vs. Jordanian Reason

Nuclear Ambitions: Iranian Swagger Vs. Jordanian Reason

From David Anthony Hohol… The Iranian political regime (and not its citizens who we have supported in their fight for democracy ) have been the self-declared enemy of the West since the 1978 Islamic Revolution, when the Mullahs took over the country. They’ve repeatedly spewed hatred, issued threats and sounded entirely unstable as a result. The crazy, [...]

The Social Construction of Self

The Social Construction of Self

From David Anthony Hohol… We are all different, but we are all the same. It’s hard for many of us to fathom the self-image born from being a member of what society calls a minority.  Standing amidst the towering forest of the status quo, showered with the seeds of conditioning, we don’t understand the enveloping sense of judgment [...]

The Nature of the Beast

The Nature of the Beast

Despite the efforts of organizations around the world, human beings continue to hunt animals into extinction. Whether it be for simple vanity, supposed medical benefits, or the desire for an exotic pet, the illegal animal trade is alive and well. It seems to have forever been in our nature to pillage nature, and those we [...]

Picturing RELATIVITY- see all photos

RELATIVELY Speaking

  • ANNOYING SAUDI A prominent Saudi human rights activist detained for more than a month is being investigated for allegedly “annoying others” with his online essays that criticise government officials and Saudi religious scholars. God Bless Saudi Arabia.
  • CHINA BANS SOLDIERS FROM BLOGGING OF ANY KIND A new regulation prohibits the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) from creating websites or blogs, citing confidentiality concerns. God Bless the Chinese Control Freaks and their ever-loving paranoia.
  • GRAB YOUR BONG While California confirmed its state’s marijuana legalization initiative would be on the November ballot months ago, the state has now assigned proposition numbers to this year’s slate of initiatives. Get used to hearing about Proposition 19.
  • THE WHITE MIDDLE CLASS DONT HAVE SEX A sexual malaise appears to have sunk over American White People. But to what extent do these complaints about sexual apathy reflect medical reality, and how much do they emanate from the anxious, overachieving, white upper middle class? Say What?
  • YOU'RE NOT JEWISH?! A Jerusalem court made legal history by jailing a delivery man from East Jerusalem. A Palestinian, the man was convicted of rape after having consensual sex with an Israeli woman who believed he was Jewish because he said his name was Daniel.
