Let's start with the question, "Why are diamonds so expensive in the first place?" Good question. Presumably it's not just because people find them so beautiful; it's also because they are rare. Right?
Actually people think that they are rare but in reality they are not. In fact, diamonds are the second most common items in the majority of American households. The most common item
Two weeks ago, our First Lady, Michelle Obama seemed to have caused a hornet’s nest of controversy with her graduation speech to the students of Tuskegee University. She was the wrong messenger, with the wrong message, at the wrong place, at the wrong time. It was very difficult to listen to our First Lady rant on about the travails of being the first Black First Lady. She travels around the world on a private jet, has maids and housekeepers at her |

America's long-promoted status as the world's cultural mosaic has endured as long as 'land of the free' and 'home of the brave'. In popular parlance, this status speaks to the open-ended opportunities all immigrants have in this country to build better lives for themselves economically and socially. A recent study shows that this nation lives up to its moniker on a genetic level as well.

The estimated death toll of those making this perilous journey in 2015 has been put at 1750, with many more expected over the coming year, including families and young children.
