    Good morning/good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Aldous Huxley, the author of the futuristic dystopian novel “Brave New World” is innocent in rightfully challenging the idea of a modern utopia. He invites the reader to challenge the ideal society as his writing is a cautionary tale and a warning to people that humanity may transform from being free independent people to slaves to our own greediness and society. “Brave New World” is a disturbing, loveless world and Huxley shows this through his writing, tapping into themes such as eugenics, behavioral conditioning, the use of advanced technology to control an entire society and showing an extreme but honest version of today’s economic standards. Huxley doesn’t mean to say that people would be happier if they were all genetically modified, nor…

    A sign hangs next to the cradle of Texas liberty, reminding visitors that concealed firearms are not permitted on the grounds. She stops and examines this as if it were new to her, although the sign has been posted for several years now.

    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13,14 Every day God's salvation draws nearer, which means we must be more diligent and persevering in our walk with the Him. We do not have the "luxury of time" to be consumed, preoccupied, or even fatigued in our day-to-day responsibilities that we become distracted to what God wants to accomplish in each of our lives and in His church! We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

    Although “Don’t Mess With Texas” is the slogan for an anti-littering campaign launched by the Texas Department of Transportation, the implications of that phrase reach far beyond roadside cleanliness. Texans are stalwart defenders of their history and culture, perhaps rivaling their patriotism for the United States. As author John Steinbeck put it, “I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion.” Based on information gained from various readings combined with my own observations, I must agree with Steinbeck.…

    Every year, there is a new controversial state law resulting in a nationwide backlash. As of March 23, 2016, North Carolina officially joined the reign of states that include laws that tear the population apart. In the past year, the United States has made significant progress in the fight for LGBT equality. Over the summer, we watched as the Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges allowed same-sex couples in all 50 states to get legally married, and while the long-lasting battle for the legalization of same-sex marriage was won, the battle for gender identity equality was still at war. There is no federal law that prevents businesses and states from discriminating against gender identity and transgender people.…
