To the Youth of Egypt: How Can We Help?

by Akiva February 18, 2011

Here in America it has been difficult to get good reports about everything that is happening in Egypt.

Boston Legal’s Alan Shore on Americans

by Geoffrey Allan Plauché September 2, 2010

In a recent post, Akiva claimed that people (in general) get the government they deserve.
