Let me start by saying I know anonymous speech is important. I will follow that up by telling you that your anonymous speech is probably not really important. Nothing you say will change the world. It won't even change a single mind. If your profile states you are a...
I am a muslim
There you have it. When I was born they said the call to prayer in my right ear. I had no choice in the matter. When I would argue with my mom and tell her being muslim was a choice she would disagree. I would say 'so if they centrifuged my blood the muslim part would...

I almost always vote. I mean, there have been a couple of mid-term elections or local ones I may have missed but generally speaking, I always vote. I mean, I am an American by choice. Well, not really my choice, but my parents chose it and I think they are pretty...
Voicemails are forever
So I am going to be honest here. I advertise. Yup, that's right. I actually shell out money for people to know I exist and what it is I do. It's true. It's not major. I mean, I am not a superlawyer yet or anything like that, but I've got some money out there in the...
