Whether it’s due to anger, fear or simple annoyance with the shape of modern society, the idea of leaving Earth to colonize the moon or Mars has become a popular one of late. Yet, while it’s the idea of escaping the people of this world that’s likely making the idea of starting over on a […]

Whether that bigger picture is the corruption of the powers that be, or simply our place within a social system that encourages and enables complacency […]
Have you ever actually attended a local town hall meeting? Most people never have – but I have, and in more than one location.
