I miss home.
Maybe it’s the fact that I helped move the last pieces of junk out of the garage; or maybe it’s the fact that I can wake up at 11am or 8 am without a sense of overwhelming panic; or maybe it’s the fact that I have the liberty to walk around late at night and not worry about getting mugged; or maybe it’s the fact that I get to see old friends from high school...

But really does anybody ever change? I mean we get older, we get wiser (hopefully) but at the end of the day, at the end of the year, at the end of our lives, do any of us ever change—we might do things a little bit quicker, make a little bit more money, be perceived a little differently in society—but do we really change?
And that’s something comfortable to think...

There is no doubt in anybody’s mind that the Occupy Movement has captured the world’s attention. From Zuccotti Park to UC Davis the Occupy Movement has made people across the world from university administrators to politicians to students turn their heads. With the Occupy Movement has come a series of labels from face-time progressives such as Michael Moore declaring the harbinger of...
