After some debate, much voting, and several tie-breaking decisions, the results are in! I doubt that any more votes will be cast, so I just created the list from the votes we have now. Now, the diversity of the votes was so great that we ended up with severeal ties. In fact, only the number 1 spot wasn't in contention. So, while you guys are responsible for who is in the list, I am somewhat responsible for the general framework. Now, onto the actual list: 10. Bill Gates 9. Henry Ford ...

Recently, Bakerstreet wrote an article about Discovery Channel's Top 100 Americans Link . I must say, that list is, more or less, an embarrasment. I mean come on; John Edwards? Madonna? Dr. Phil? Teddy Roosevelt came behind Oprah, for crying out loud. So, I decided we should have our own Top Americans thing. 100 would require so many people voting, I don't think it's such a good idea.

That's right! This is my 50th article. Why, it seems only yesterday I wrote my 49th. Of course, it does feel like this has taken no time at all.

By the way, if you look really hard at the 50, you can find the four that are any good. I don't really have the talent or creativity to write some big 50th article t...

One night in November 2004, I joined this site. While filling out the sheet, I came to the question of what to name myself. And for some odd, inexplicable, strange reason, I named myself NJforever. And now, nearly 4 months later, I still don't know why I did it. I have never named myself this before, and the name had never come into my mind before. In fact, the only thing that the name has anything to do with any part of my thinking/life is that I live in New Jersey. For the most part, ...

Recentyl, I posted a reply giving a small insight into my view of these times and my life. And now heres the article. I generally despair about these times. Deteriorating diplomatic relations, war, all the deaths....I cant help but feel like we have truly hit the bottom of world society. And, no, no one has to bite my head of for accusations; i am blaming no individual for what I am speaking of in this article, nor am i blaming a country or a political party. Strangely, these developments...
