Discrimination has been an ongoing struggle as far back as history can recall, and it is unfortunate that it is still an issue today. We have made tremendous progress for women, African Americans, and other minorities, but we are still in the midst of full rights for the LGBT community. It would be unrealistic to say that this community now has complete equality, especially when states like North Carolina pass laws allowing discrimination and refusal of treatments to the LGBT community. It is…

to have a new kind of monster pierce the ears of the youth. That monster was none other than the acclaimed "Hottest Band in the World", Kiss. Which would be absent idea without the thundering thump of the stick-wielding drummer Peter Criss. Peter Criss (George Peter John Criscuola) was born in Brooklyn, New York on December 20, 1945. He grew up listening to the jazz greats and ended up studying under his idol, Gene Krupa. He went on to play in many bands throughout the 1960's. One of the…

For example, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the rock band KISS teamed up with Hiring Our Heroes to give veterans a chance to…

Drones: Not the Perfect Soldier Imagine a world where all our soldiers are at home with there wife and kids; they do not need to go overseas to fight in wars and we are no longer losing our loved ones due to war violence because we have soldiers that are not human but robots. This sounds pretty darn nice, doesn 't it? Killer robots are the ideal soldier; they do not need food or water, they do not need to stop and rest, they do not need long training programs, and they do not need to sleep at…

Today in our modern society, there are multiple different genres of music to pick and choose from. So obviously, there is at least one type that people prefer to listen to. The meaning of music varies from person to person. To some, music is an outlet to release one's inner emotions, while to others, music is just something to past time. Rock and Roll is one of America's pastimes, from the riff of electric guitars to the beats of the drums, one can't expect to live life without at least hearing…
