Dance the Night Away

Oct 28, 2013

Why Can We Not Do Better to Preserve Our History?

Oct 22, 2013
When I was in school, history was one of my least favorite classes. I always felt it was so boring to have to memorize names and dates of explorers, inventors, wars etc. Why was learning to recite the Gettysburg address in front of the whole class so important? It all seemed so unnecessary. The only thing that did pique my…[...]

Protecting the Rights of Predatory Lending Victims: There’s More Work Ahead

Oct 16, 2013
