You know how when you see a prism, spinning in the sun, and how the lights are sent out in ten thousand directions, constantly changing, forever remaining the same? Well this blog site is like that, only those beams of lights, at least the ones I see, are my ideas. It is these ideas, embedded deep inside my head that we will be typing about.

Another year gone for her
With the date nearing, I wanted to remind everyone about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne at the hands of Edward Kennedy, a free man. A poem, and a time line of how long we’ve waited for justice.
How many roads can a drunken man drive,
when his passengers don’t arrive alive?
And how many beers did that man drink,
before, his car it did sink?
And how many years can a murderer stay free,
When he drown, Mary Jo, Kopechne?
The answer my friend
Is floatin’ round the bend,
Past the bridge, it’s floatin in the wind.

Someone, please, bring justice and closure for her family.
