Street photography is the art of exploring life as it happens in the everyday moment, capturing the lives of others with an instant while observing your own, its not about creating photo memories, its about dissolving one's self in the experience of coincidences. It is straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single hu …

James Madison Toastmasters was founded with the purpose of teaching conservatives how to speak.  We have noted that conservatives are rarely much good at articulating their message, and in California they have been losing election after election for lack of clarity.  The James Madison Club provides a venue where conservatives may practice communication and hone their message, and breathe new life into conservative causes.  We are largely Republican, but conservatism is our true core. Our meetup …

Divided though we are as a country, we're generally in agreement about the state of our union—it's not good. We also generally agree on a big part of why that is: our system is corrupt. By and large, our politicians are subservient not to the people, but to the corporations, unions, and wealthy donors who bankroll their campaigns. Our legislation reflects not what's in the best interest of average Americans, but rather the best interests of Exxon Mobil or Goldman Sachs. A government "of the peop …
