Mark Glenn's Columns

Wrestling the Alligator

A short story by Mark Glenn.

 

He Has My Eyes

Recommended "For the rest of us, we should consider the idea that despite all being born human, there are some who choose not to remain so. There are those who, given the option, choose to be Cain instead of Abel, a lustful, greedy beast willing to slay his brother without a thought as to what it really means for another to suffer and die. A beast who allows his worry over the economics of his life to justify the shedding of innocent blood, and who does not think of the pain he will bring to parents by killing one of their children. "  An outstanding column by Mark Glenn.  Columns such as this one are what STR is all about.  

 

The New Mafia

"What else do you call a well-run organization with long reaching tentacles that wields silent, yet powerful influence in government, finance, and media? An organization that extorts over six billion dollars a year from the American taxpayers?....An organization that can pick up the phone, call the President of the United States and order him to bomb another nation back into the Stone Age on completely false pretenses?"  Column by new Root Striker Mark Glenn.  This starts out slow, but is very good.
