Welcome to the 23rd century, where “warp drive” has made space travel not only possible but really, really fast! The entire planet Earth is under control of one “government” and no one has to worry about a job because everyone has one. They all work together not for pay-- they have “evolved” beyond the pursuit … Continue reading The Star Trek Fantasy

If you had everything taken away from you-- all of your possessions and your job or vocation, what would you be?  Or, WHO would you be?

Kellogg is changing the picture on their Corn Pops box because waaaay down in the corner a brown (not black, mind you) corn pop is shown doing janitorial work. That makes it racist.
