There is but one universe and we are all apart of it and there is ample room for everyone. Space is but a concept. Space is infinite. The pyramid is still a remnant of…

What is up with the police helicopters flying over the mall every night between 8 and 9? They fly so low some nights they shake the house. They circle with their bright light and then they fly away. That does not happen on the westside. Why here? There can't possibly be that much crime activity the same time every night. Is this something that community leaders asked for? I'm new so enlighten me.

I was really moved by this article I saw about African America journalist Kevin Weston's fight for his life.
