The Beautiful Creative Mind

The 2001 movie starring Russell Crowe, A Beautiful Mind, portrayed the life of renowned scientist John Nash. The movie focused primarily on his battle with schizophrenia, and how it affected his life. Without a doubt, the movie once again brought to the fore the struggles facing sufferers of this mental impairment.

Why Al Gore Should Run for President

About a month ago, I was on my way to the Old South Meeting House to see former Nixon White House counsel John Dean speak. As I approached the entrance, a man standing outside the door asked me if I wanted to sign a petition to draft Al Gore to run for the White House in 2008. I ignored the man, walked inside and laughed to myself.

President Bush Defends Rapist-Murderer To Appease Mexico

Greenpeace Capture Power Plant… what, are we at war

African Mega-Drought Rewrites Out of Africa

The words 'tropical' and 'lush' are not necessarily the descriptive words you would normally associate with Africa, especially when presented with the choice of 'barren' and 'arid'. But the continent of Africa is not all desert and dust; at least, not any more.

New Horizons Jovian Visit

Google Street View Adds Six More Cities

One of the hits of the Web 2.0 revolution has without a doubt been Google Earth. The ability to zoom in on almost any city or landmark in the world, up to -- for the most part -- a pretty decent resolution, has helped stem the boredom for many a tired employee on a Friday afternoon. And with the addition of Google's Street View, the fun only continued to grow

iPods and Laptops Owe their Allegiance to Nobel Prize Winners

Many in the world take the fact that their little iPod or laptop is capable of holding "just so much" music or information.

Can A Christian Pray To Allah

George W. Bush was twice elected President of the United States with great assistance from evangelical Christians, who, almost universally, believed he was a born-again believer. Many still hold onto that belief. In fact, evangelical Christians compose the bulk of the ever-shrinking base of support Bush has left.
