Life & Liberty: Those Undisputed Champions of America

The Champion of America, Frederick Douglass ā€œThe education of the nation is paramount, and should not be neglected. We should recognize the absolute necessity of elevating our citizens of whatever class or condition from ignorance, from degradation, from superstition, from pauperism, from crime. It is an accepted axiom, I believe everywhere, that the more intelligent the citizen is the better citizen he is.ā€ Congressman Richard Cain , South Carolina, 1875 at the House Of Representatives The Reconstruction Era of 1870 to 1901 was a remarkable time wherein 22 Americans of black skin color , with legislative agendas on increasing education, political rights, and economic independence  became Congressmen in our nation’s capital.

No Mind Left Behind: Protecting our Kids in Age of Toxicity

"During every minute of the nine months of pregnancy, the brain gains a quarter of a million cells. The brain is hardwired to produce a staggering total of around 100 billion neurons and a trillion glial cells, which provide all the necessary support and protection. This will lead to a multi trillion network of connections capable of performing 20 million billion calculations per second." - Adam Cox No Mind Left Behind:Understanding and Fostering Executive Function Control Truly, truly, it is a marveous thing to behold. The built-in complexity of the brain and mind follows an intelligently-designed blueprint that will always exceed that of even the smartest, most versatile computer.

Self-less, altruistic love that seeks no payback, with no hidden motive.   Some m...
