Three fishermen in wading boots that were up to their armpits were working the marshes and fishing for largemouth black bass, but weren't having much luck. All they were catching were a few small sea trout. They had been standing in the cool water for over three hours. It was after eleven at night and in his estimation it was time to go in and make a sandwich and have a beer. So far this trip had been a waste of time, but being an avid fisherman,...

Ultimately, I felt Morrison held a unique story of immigrants (mostly related) that held steadfast to their heritage; yet survived by the gifts of the land along with...

As a nation, we're not always big on introspection. To move forward, however, we must look inward. We must hold this nation up to a mirror and acknowledge what it's become. We must make a sober assessment. How did a country that so aligns itself with freedom and equality become a haven for the rich and powerful while the middle class is slowly, decimated?
