A nation of laws, not men

One of the items that guarantees our freedom is that we are a nation of laws, not men. In other words, the law is blind to your station in life. The law cares not whether you are wealthy and connected, or destitute and despised—justice is the same no matter what. At least, that's the theory. […]

SMOD 2016

The 2016 presidential race has finally reached the point where I am hoping and praying for SMOD 2016 to win the election. For those of you unfamiliar with SMOD, it's the Sweet Meteor of Death, a meteor of extinction level power that would spell the end of every life on earth. It's the candidate we […]
