WatchAssassins is a horrible reminder of what just as well should be forgotten. Yet no matter how I try I am revisited by the loss tearing at the patch work quilt of my life and the lives of much of mankind who have had to deal with the senseless violence imposed upon all hope and faith that if we choose we can make peace in this all to futile and violent world. Great men and women taken before their...

WatchThe fall of innocence is about the pain of innocence lost. It’s about the loss of dreams and the promise of heros and great men and women whose lives were stolen from us before their time. It is about the ongoing erosion of belief and faith that anything is possible stealing our dreams and the painful realization that we all are hopelessly flawed and as humans there will be a time we fail...
