Sarah Ruthless: “Out of this war, the greatest since the beginning of history, a new world must be born, a world that would justify the sacrifices offered by humanity. This new world must be a world in which there shall be no exploitation of the weak by the strong, of the good by the evil; [...]

We are just beyond one year from the 2012 United States presidential election, and at this point the cast of characters are essentially set. The combination of time and contenders who have bowed out, have us set with the incumbent Democrat and his main Republican challengers. The Republican field has some returning faces from 2008, [...]

Last evening, as I do most Wednesday evenings I had dinner with my parents at their home.
