America Online has probably done some good things over the years, I’m sure of it. I mean you can’t become the worlds largest internet service with crappy connections, buggy software, and bad attitudes alone! There has to be something in there that attracts people to the service. Many will say user-friendliness, others will say good marketing, and others just can’t make sense of it no matter how they look at it (me, for example). But regardless, much of the internet use in the United States flows one way or another through AOL.
Court Case Speech
(Written for Prof. Bulger’s Intro. to Oral Communication [COMM100] class at George Mason University.)
I have been on the bench of the United States Supreme Court for five years, and seldom has a case come across my desk where a decision from a lower court literally angered me. Not since the electoral decisions from the Florida Supreme Court in 2001 have I ever heard of a state court being so entirely out-of-line with law and reality as the decision that the New York Court of Appeals made in this case.
My Own Best Friend
(Written for Prof. Bulger’s Intro. to Oral Communication [COMM100] class at George Mason University.)
How many of you have known somebody your entire life? You know, that somebody that you’re just unbelievably close to. Somebody who you just can’t live without? I met somebody like that more than eighteen years ago.
Society of Saint Andrew—Lent Devotion
Have you ever really been hungry? For most of us the answer is likely no. I know I haven’t, I’ve been firmly rooted in middle-class America for my entire life (as far as I can recall, anyway). Surely most everybody reading this has lived much of their life with a firm sense of property, control, and stability.
Importance of the Individual Leader
(Written for Prof. Nichols’s Composition [ENGL101] class at George Mason University.)
History has demonstrated thousands of times the importance of individuals in the shaping of events. For example, if George Washington were to be removed from American history our nation would likely not exist today, at least not in the form that it does. However, in this work, I would like to focus on an even more important shaper of events on this planet. I would like to focus on the person who created the Earth as it exists today, Professor Mel Nichols.
