I was an actor once. I wanted to be a film director, but I went to an acting class and I was in love. I trained for years, did a lot of college productions and some in New York City. Got myself a manager, and had offers coming. To the bare eye, things were looking up! But the thing is, […]

What is the most important thing a nation could have? Many would say romantic things like peace or the end of poverty and subsequently hunger. Others will go farther and dig into class division and the disparity of rights to come up with their answer.
