By Alfredo Torres
For those of you who don’t know, North Korea has one of the most horrible prison systems known to man. They regularly torture and abuse the people that they throw in their jails.

A Dr and A Soldier Died Last Week. Who’s Death Was More Tragic? Depends on Who You Watch.
By Alfredo Torres
The murders of both Dr. George Tiller and Pvt. William Long are tragic. I’m sure that both men knew the risk of the occupation that they decided to follow.

Did It Matter?
By Alfredo Torres
Maybe I’m wrong, but does anyone else care that the local scene has lost the “Locals Lounge”? I haven’t heard or read anything about the show being gone.
