Michael Rutschky Published: October 25, 2006 I hope you bleed.  No offense or anything.  One pint of blood can be used to save up to three lives.  The platelets and plasma can be separated from it and put to use, or the whole of your blood can be used. The nearest blood clinic to the...

by Paul Smith Everyone knows healthcare in America is a bloated, chaotic, diseased nightmare in dire need of massive overhaul and reform.  We have almost 50 million without insurance, and millions of those with insurance are constantly dropped or denied coverage for absurd reasons like “preexisting conditions” (as though life itself was not a preexisting...

Jennifer Rich-Neal Published: October 11, 2006 Anyone who has ever lost someone close to them knows the feeling of emptiness that follows.  Last year, I lost my mother very suddenly to pnuemonia.  It is obvious that I would miss her; she was my mom.  However, after she died, I realized that more was missing than...

Michael Rutschky Published: August 23, 2006 Through the large screen holes in front of my face, I could see the crowd cheering for me as I stepped into the center of the makeshift arena.  I was nervous, not because of the impending showdown, but because of possible health risks of attempting the rigors of combat...

Joi Popernack-Cowan Published: June 20, 2006 Going to Sam’s Club to purchase various household items is usually an ordeal. You fight through crowds of people who are surely polygamists. Who else would be buying creamed corn in 50 gallon drums? But our consumerist society tells us that buying toilet paper in huge tank size cubes...
