Another new thing is that there is now an OSA discussion list. This list is for anyone who’s interested in Open Source Alexandrian or would […]

Walking into Oblivion

I’ve been overwhelmed a bit lately with what is going on with the government these days. I listen to the news and it boggles my mind. A group of people are perfectly willing to let people suffer for their own perceived notion of political gain. And in the name of God. Doesn’t this sound familiar? […]
