Drive by media

The American media that distorts the news into propaganda, in order to get high ratings. The drive-by media has told us: blacks were denied the right to vote in Florida during the 2000 election, that New Orleans floods after/during hurricane Katrina resulted from white people blowing up levees to destroy black neighborhoods, that 9-1-1 was a government conspiracy and an “inside “job”, that Bush “lied” about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction just so he could invade Iraq and make amends for his father’s war, that global warming is going to exterminate human beings from the earth, that the war in Iraq is only for oil, and that bigger government is the answer to improving your life. Basically, the drive-by media specializes in brainwashing and charcater assassination.

The drive by media specializes in distortions of the facts in the name of "ratings." The funny thing is that many people are nieve and believe what they are told.

Bible

The Good Book. The number-one selling book of all time. The living, breathing, inspired Word of God. God's message to us on how we can find the only way to him---through Jesus his Son, so we can obtain salvation. Composed of the New and Old Testaments and 66 smaller “books,” the Bible was written over thousands of years from Moses (who wrote Genesis) around 3000 BC to John the Revelator (who wrote Revelation) at the end of the first century. The general theme of the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is that human beings are stuck in the middle of a spiritual war between God and Satan for the souls of mankind. Luckily, the Cross of Jesus Christ, the central figure of the Bible, allows human beings to choose which side they will swear allegience to. The Old Testament looks FORWARD to a coming Messiah and the Cross for our redmeption, while the New Testament looks BACK at the Cross. The Bible opens with the creation of the Universe and “the fall” of mankind and finishes with the Great White Throne Judgement, when all evil (including Satan and his followers) will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, putting an end to evil once and for all. The Bible is used for reporoof, for correction, for teaching and instructing in the way that human beings need to live. The Bible calls itself a “sword,” proving that it is very divsive among people. Yes, the truth will be divisive but effective to save the lost. People have tried to disprove it for centuries but it will never happen. Its message will NEVER be destroyed as it claims, proving to be the true Word of God Almighty.

The Bible is the guide for human beings to live by so that we may have hope.

Civil War

the war that occurred in the United States during the 1860s under President Abraham Lincoln that caused the highest number of casualties than any American war. It was a war between the North (the Union) and the South (the Confederacy) that centered around slavery—the North wanted it abolished while the South permitted it for economic reasons. The central issue of slavery began to divide the country in the 1840s as members of Congress bickered over the issue and as new states entered the Union. When a new “free” state entered the union, a new slave state was required do the same to create a balance. It even divided certain states themselves-- Missouri and Virginia, by which West Virginia seceeded from it after the war.

The war began shortly after Abe Lincoln became President in 1861 when the Confederacy attacked the Union's Fort Sumter, South Carolina—allegedly by mistake--and didn’t end until 1865 when Confederacy General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union Commander Ulysses S. Grant in Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. The Battle of Anteitem was the deadliest battle of the War. Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis should have all been hung afterwards for being a traitor to the United States, in my opinion.

The Civil war was the bloodiest war in American history and a very sad chapter in American history.

al capone

A mobster and the real man who ran Chicago in the 1920s. Perhaps the best known gangster in American history. He was guilty of prostitution, illegal gambling, racketeering and ultimately, tax evasion, which led to his incarceration in Alcatraz. He died in prison of syphilis.

If Al Capone would have stuck it out a little longer, he would made a good politician.

corporate culture

The way things are done in upper management in corporate America including their policies, procedures, values, beliefs, rules, and the way they treat and value their employees. It is almost an underworld where arrogance, overpay, and lack of concern for the “lower” employees is the norm. Often times, people in corporate America will sell their soul to the devil himself in their quest for power and money, and will do anything to climb the corporate ladder. Corporate America only cares about its own interests and has no concern for the “lesser” employees. It will make you think your job is secure and then lay you off without warning if it saves the company 10 cents. It will give you a pay cut, but then raise its own salary. Basically, it’s a world of liars, thieves, and hypocrites.

Corporate culture is not so good to the rest of us who work paycheck to paycheck.

Columbus

The capital and largest city of Ohio and for some reason, is the 16th largest in the U.S. It is a nice place to live but this college town suffers form a low profile and hardly any identity (at least Cleveland has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame). Its known for absolutely nothing, except the Buckeyes of Ohio State University, one of the largest universities in the United States.

What the heck is in Columbus?
