A Lack of Civility

category: Rants author: Ashwin

Ever since I discovered Craigslist a few years back I’ve found it to be a great resource to buy and sell things, as well as, procure services from handymen, cleaning ladies and more. The ease of searching for what you want, the anonymity that comes inherently with posting things and the localized focus allows me [...]

What’s Wrong With This?

category: Perspective, Rants author: Ashwin

Cruel and Unusual?

category: Perspective author: Ashwin

Let me get this straight. We have states within the union that execute prisoners for crimes that are considered heinous or overly “criminal” in nature. But the fact that one of these executions caused undue cruelty to one of these prisoners is reason enough to find a new way of terminating the lives of those [...]

Fraudulent Charges

category: Personal, Rants author: Ashwin

I’m the kind of person that would rather charge my purchases on plastic and deal with the bills at the end of the month than carry around a large wad of cash. I’m also the kind of person that pays my bill in it’s entirety each month.
Imagine my surprise when my beloved Discover card denied [...]
