Now, as you all know, we usually have one article every two days. Today’s article (from Darkprinceofawesome/Nero) had really nothing to do with the future. So, enjoy this one, too. We all know that music has an incredible power over the world, and the past few decades have been devoted to music expansion. From records [...]

So we need to help the government out here. Some of the countries are being hit harder than ours, so this is a time to extend our reach and help! Not sure where to start? Go to the Global Emergencies page (after I write it and set it up) and visit some of the nonprofit organizations out there that are created to help all of the problems that are being created out there.

Note: The title of this article was meant to poke fun at the people that always blame the government. It’s NOT always the government’s fault, it’s ours because we aren’t helping and being actively involved in our own personal missions to save the world.

It’s too easy to be caught up in your life here in the U.S. and just forget about all the other countries out there that are in trouble- countries that are battling diseases, armies, freedom, liberty, peace- the world has so many problems! Everyone is fighting for and against something, and you think that we [...]

What fun is it to predict the world’s impending demise? I can’t see the joy of telling people that the world will collapse in ten years when oil becomes too expensive. A professor from the University of Arizona recently published an article in The Arizona Republic about how civilization will unravel because of the current oil crisis, and I have some questions for him.

Don’t give up, if you have never tried. Rika’s Thoughts: This is a good quote, but not always true. You can give up if the goal your headed for might have more risks then positives, and giving up actually might be a better idea. For example, if the plant on top of the refrigerator needs [...]

What happened in the past will only affect you as much as you let it. Calister Again: Mistakes are good. You can learn from them. But sometimes we get these people who can’t seem to get over the mistakes. They stare them down as if the mistake is a car in the rear view mirror [...]

Unless the Hummer and large SUV owners have been living under a rock, the following facts are known by them:
Hummers and large, heavy, SUVs are expensive
A 2004 Hummer H2 SUV has 9.6 mpg compared to a Honda, who’s miles per gallon ranges from 20-50 mpg. So for sure all of the SUV and Hummer owners know that they’re paying more for the gas prices then other car owners.
The emissions from cars contributes to global warming, and by simply switching from a fifteen mpg car to a 30mpg, you are cutting your car’s CO2 emissions in half.

I am writing this because I believe that alcohol and other types of drugs need to be stopped and controlled now. I recently learned all about types of drugs and alcohol and what it can do to the inside and outside of ourselves. I don’t understand how people can do this to themselves. My dad [...]

4:32 PM: hear Calister’s complaints about how the green flowers are too “girly”. Laugh along with him, promise that I’ll look into other templates, but secretly plan his demise.
4:46 PM: Check the site’s status and clap excitedly as I see that someone else BESIDES the staff actually commented!
4:56 PM: Reject Calister’s article on the stupid topics that have nothing to do with the future OR the environment OR technology. In the article rejection email, tell him that his next article should be about ice cream. Write a witty rejection letter in advance.

Hi everybody! For one thing, I am the first (and maybe only) person to write an article stating why you should pick me for the April Staff Contest. As a newer member of the staff, I am now well-aware of everything now. Already, I have one vote and hopefully it will keep going! I write [...]
