Agent Update
2007-11-02 03:10:00 Hi Guys, Well, I didn’t want to say anything until I had something to report.

It?s a Cottage Industry
2007-10-29 09:01:00 I’ve come to think that racism, as we know it today, is a cottage industry. And until we get rid of those who make it so, we will always have it. These two particular jokers diminish real racism and bigotry by following every media friendly incident they can muster and bloviating until we turn blue ... More About: Industry , Cottage

Mortality
2007-10-23 21:53:00 In the last two and a half days I’ve had a chance to really examine my own mortality. It’s a strange sensation really - to think about the world without you in it.

Is Information Killing Us?
2007-10-13 19:37:00 I doubt anyone would argue with me on the idea that we are in the Information Age.
