Somethin' filled upmy heart with nothin',someone told me not to cry.But now that I'm older,my heart's colder,and I can see that it's a lie.Children wake up,hold your mistake up,before they turn the summer into dust.If the children don't grow up,our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing torust.I guess we'll just

Doing a thorough investigation, taking in all available information and perspective that you reasonably can, and coming to a conclusion on what we are, why

What this science does, if you aren’t too familiar with it, is help clarify why people do the

Adam Smith is known for his explanation of how rational self-interest and competition, operating in a social framework depending on adherence to moral obligations, can lead to economic prosperity and well-being.WikipediaSomehow, Adam Smith and his “every man acting in his own self-interest will serve the communal interest” mentality recently came to my mind, and I realized that this is the

I noticed today that one of the Google Adsense ads on this blog is for the SATs. Is there really a big market of people who are going to take the SATs that aren't already forced into it by their parents / high school / common sense?Someone just surfing the web in their free time who knows they'd like to go to college at some point but hasn't thought at all about how to do it sees the ad, "Man,
