What Should Be Illegal: Targetting Children

By Orion on Fri, 06/28/2013 - 6:45am |

I've had alot of words put in to my mouth wherever I have talked about regulating psychiatric medication, including here (though it's been the tamest here - elsewhere some have accused me of being some sort of Christian Scientist or Scientologist, the latter of which I guess I can see).

I want to show exactly, point blank, what is wrong with modern psychiatry and health care in general - right here:

A Review Of "The Clone Wars" - With A Few Ideas

By Orion on Thu, 06/27/2013 - 12:49am |

More material from Blood Is One:

I received a copy of the fourth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars for my birthday. I have only watched the series sporadically since the initial movie that came out but wow, was it good.

A Q&A With Awesome Author Michael Gural-Maiello

By Orion on Wed, 06/26/2013 - 8:04pm |

From Blood Is One, where there is actually a direct link to buy Michael's book:

Michael Gural-Maiello is an accomplished published author, as I will note in this interview, he has written for Esquire and Forbes and has encouraged Blood Is One in its growth and maturity as a website. He has just self published a book called Shuts and Failures, which is filled with material that apparently was rejected from the big publishers. Given his penchant for humor and pop culture and actively helping Blood Is One expanding its reach in the realm of pop culture coverage, it really seemed like a no brainer to do an interview with him. Maiello thought much the same thing so... Here goes!

Madchild's Rebirth

By Orion on Tue, 06/18/2013 - 5:11am |

This one was o riginally published at Blood Is One. Again, I am a bit weary of posting some of this at Dagblog. I am very curious as to some of your thoughts but also afraid of them? Madchild's music is hardcore, raw rap - pretty unapologetic.

A Plea to Kanye West

"The Great Dictator"

By Orion on Sun, 06/16/2013 - 11:43pm |

I posted about Kanye West and his latest album on Blood Is One and got a pretty good reception from Michael. I thought of following up with an article here about how his demented, deranged music illustrates how cold, empty and pointless our society has become. As I thought the article out, I didn't really want to pursue it. I figured you all could get more thought about society from this:
