This site is dedicated to fostering understanding through education. Contained within its pages are hundreds of links to controversial and sometimes uncomfortable sights. To keep things fresh and focused, every two weeks, there is a new headline editorial (posted on Sundays), intended to spark conversation with you, the reader. Please feel free to contact me on any of the subjects enclosed within my editorials and links, as well as any items not currently on my list. Education is all our responsibility. It is my responsibility to you. It is your responsibility to me.
It is a very common question for people to ask me why I call this page "grasshopper's worthless wisdom." My answer is simple; I call this page "grasshopper's worthless wisdom" because that's how I view my "knowledge." I'm not happy with how I've gotten to this point in life, but some good has inevitably come from it. I have a lot of experience and knowledge on the things I write. "Worthless," as I call it, is something that my knowledge and experience is not. It has a lot of truth to it, and it works in most cases. My wisdom is just worthless to me because I had to trade my youth and ignorance for it. When I needed my wisdom, the times when it would have served me best, I was merely learning the lessons that would eventually turn into that which I now call my wisdom. My wisdom wasn't there when I needed it, and because of that it is worthless to me.
But knowing that one man's trash is another man's treasure, there is the chance that you may get something you can use out of what I say. This is, in short, why I do this. In some sick demented way, I hope that there is at least one reader out there, and I hope that this reader takes what I say seriously. Know that what I write is the fruit of my experience, and I'm giving it to you. I would hope that not everybody has to graduate from the school of hard knocks. I'd like to think that some people can be saved before they are broken.
