The Bloody Truth (Pt. 5)
It is often said that drugs and alcohol go hand in hand with the lifestyle of a killer. The case of the Gilligan family murders from Evansville, Indiana, is just such a case. Donald Ray Wallace, Jr. admitted to being in a drug-induced state of "strike hard, strike fast, don't stop until you win or are dead" when he broke into the family home of the Gilligans, a young Evansville family. That night would leave Evansville stunned and four innocent people dead.

Real Talk
Abortion is a topic that everyone is passionate about. One side says it's a woman's body, thus her right to choose. The other side says that life begins at conception, and abortion is murder. What we, as a society, don't often hear is what the fathers of the unborn children have to say about it. Are they given a choice? Sadly, fathers are not given a choice. If the mother wants an abortion, there is nothing a helpless and hopeless father can do to stop the death of the life he helped create. What happens when a father decides to fight for his rights? In a case filed in the Madison County, Alabama court system, nineteen-year-old Ryan Magers of Hunstville asked the following:

The Bloody Truth (Pt. 4)
I've always loved stories and poems about the wonder of women. Tales that highlight and remind a woman just how crucial she is to life and well-being. One of my favorites is "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Rules The World" by William Ross Wallace, and reads, in part, as follows:

The Bloody Truth (Pt. 3)
Sometimes evil exists. There is no explanation for it, and trying to find one is an effort in futility. This is never more evident than when a parent murders their child in cold blood. It is unfortunate that is has become commonplace to see yet another story in the media about a mother killing her child or children. It less often occurs with men, but it happens far too often. These are the men that make us hold our children a little tighter at night. After all, if they would murder their own flesh and blood, what would they do to you and yours?

Women's Suffrage
Today, I want to talk about women’s suffrage. No, I’m not talking about men, I said suffrage, not suffering. Women had no rights until 1839 when the Custody of Infants Act was passed. That gave women the right to petition the court for custody of children seven and younger and for the right to visit their older children. Until the Custody of Infants Act, custody of the children resulting from that union was always given to the father. Always! Think about that one for a minute.

Addiction
It’s time we get real about addiction. I’m not worried about what society tells you that you need to believe. I’m going to tell you the truth about addiction, and I’m qualified to do that because I was an addict. A doper and a soaker is what they called me. I popped pills and when that stopped working, I lost myself in the bottom of a bottle.

The Bloody Truth (Pt. 2)
Ted Calvin Cole was born on July 27, 1956 to an alcoholic mother, Nancy, and a father, Charles, who was enlisted in the Air Force. His childhood was a tough one, with his father eventually finding himself in prison after attempting to rob a liquor store. His mother took him, his younger brother, Keith, and baby sister, Kathy, to live with her parents after his father left the family completely when Ted was just five years old. His grandparents lived in Sunray Village, just south of Duncan, Oklahoma. Because the home was in the middle of the oil fields and eight miles out of town, there were no bus routes to take Ted to school. His grandparents refused to allow Nancy to use their car to take him to school. Instead of going to kindergarten with the rest of the children his age, Ted was taken to a children's home at the tender age of five. Left to fend for himself and raised for the next five years in a stifling, affectionless environment, Ted developed his view of the world. of. Nancy visited him a total of twice during that time, and Charles never showed. Ted eventually rejoined his mother with her new husband, Paul, and baby sister, Kathy, when he was 10. A stepbrother, Michael, would join the family 22 years later.

Firefighters and Hidden Dangers
We've all seen and heard the fire engine roaring through the intersection, on the way to an emergency. We take it for granted, that someone will always be willing to sacrifice themselves to save the people and things that are important to us. There are things that we do every day in our homes and at our places of employment that further endanger the men and women that have taken it upon themselves to ensure our safety. Until I married a firefighter, I didn't really pay attention to all the hazards we create in our home.

Stacy's Mom
1973 was the year that held the best summer of my life. I had just had my birthday in the middle of May, and the end of May saw an end to school for the year. My sister was going to band camp, my little brothers were going to my grandparents for the summer, and my parents worked full-time jobs. They would be out of the house every day of the week, as work would take the Monday through Friday hours and their newly purchased beach house would occupy every available moment on the weekends.

Daddy Dishes Out Discipline
I meant to be a good girl. Honest! I was just out of the bathtub, dried off and waiting on the rug, as Daddy had instructed. Daddy came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and another that he was using to dry his long hair. He walked to where I stood and slipped both arms around my waist. His warm lips had just landed on my neck when his work phone came to life and emitted a loud siren that demanded immediate attention. Ugh. Work.

The Nation that Cried Wolf
We have become a nation that caters to people’s individual feelings rather than what is best for society as a whole. Television shows have been removed because someone didn’t like what the writers had to say. Songs have been removed from the radio because someone dared say God's name in their lyrics. A cross was torn down. A monument removed. Millions of people were robbed of an experience because a few objected. This nation has come to use words like rape, racist, fascist, supremacy, and injustice with such frequency that the words and their meaning have lost their bite. I am ALWAYS on the side of a rape victim. A real rape victim. The trouble is, if a woman is yelling rape in today’s society, nobody even turns around. I, like many other people in this world, assume someone is trying to get attention at the cost of someone else. Retaliation is often the cause, a spurned lover that didn’t fully comprehend the meaning of the words “side chick.” He declines to carry on the relationship. She is going to make sure he pays for it. This entire populous is out for self, and it seems everyone wants to be famous, if only for two fleeting minutes. What people fail to realize is that when you get your two minutes of fame, nobody really cares. Honestly, you are simply the cause of the day, the latest meme or a video that makes it to viral status. If anyone remembers your name, it will be when an old YouTube video comes on and something like, “I remember this idiot” will be what is said in households across America. These stories are the impetus for this piece.
