Your Moment of Zen
by Kishi (Centrist)
About The Author
I'm old at heart. I currently study creative writing at the North Carolina State University. Afterwards, I believe I'll go into journalism. So keeping track of the media, especially politics, is a great way to get some practice. I also like long walks on the beach and staring into the sunset. About The Column
This column is about my views and my attempts to understand what is going on in the political world. The goal is simple - to see with eyes unclouded. Naturally, I have a hard time with this. I welcome disagreement, simply because it helps me to see other points of view, and makes me understand just a little better. The Burning Bush
