Labor Week

UNITED STATES—Unfortunately, it has happened once again, and frankly I’m quite tired of hearing about it. This time the attention has been placed on the community of McKinney, Texas. Never heard of the place, but the small town has become a staple in the news arena. Over the weekend, video surfaced of a police officer who some have argued...

UNITED STATES—Going to college is something that should be affordable for all Americans, but unfortunately we live in a world where money is the driving force behind everything. For those who were lucky to get the chance to go to college, and successfully obtain a degree, the headache has just begun. Yep, I’m referring to those student loans. That money...

UNITED STATES—To me it always seemed like going to college was an elitist thing.  Not everyone gets the opportunity to go, so those that do tend to make the best of it.  However, I always wondered why getting into college is such a competitive field when so many of us are attending public universities?  The reason this argument is...
