I haven't posted in a few weeks here at Feeding The Blind, but in my time away I have had the chance to catch up on some much overdue reading.

They are called a board of directors and their only concern is with pleasing their investors. Pearl Jam released a ...

When I first read Johnny Got His Gun, I was in College and I read the entire book in one sitting. It is a book who's theme and message has stuck with me very clear over the years since. I was reminded of the book today when I read this article from the International Herald Review. The article was titled - 'Most severely wounded' soldier endures: blind, quadriplegic, ...

I read this statement in the Harper's Weekly Newsletter, "An Irish soldier who won the Military Cross for single-handedly defeating a Baghdad suicide bomber was facing a court-martial for auctioning his medal on eBay."
