Can Humans Overcome The Over Population Problem In Time to Save Themselves?Inherently, I’d say anyone with little more than half a brain realizes that at some point humans will over populate this planet. There is of course the on-going debate of what the ideal population of humans on Earth should be or what the maximum sustainable number actually is – regardless, it wouldn’t take a space station engineer to realize that if mankind continues to procreate at the current rate, they will someday be sorry.
Lessons From Incas: Nature and Civilization in HarmonyHumanity requires both nature and civilization. Both worlds must be in best shape that they can be.
Hip Hop and Black AmericaBeing a black man in America I understand far too well the duality to which Web Du Bois described in his book “The Souls of Black Folks”. What saddens me, and also sickens me is that I can so solely identify with something that was written in a time were black men in some parts of America were still considered cattle.

One side of some of us that fails to hit the headline, however, is reincarnation.

Incentives and Man-Woman RelationshipsI’ve been called everything from feminist to misogynist, and mostly these statements say more about people saying them than they do about me.
