Follow me to great writing
SeedSing was born into existence in May of 2015. The idea behind the website was to bring a common voice to the politics and pop culture of our society. We started with the goal to post 3-5 articles a week and hoped to get around 100 unique visitors in each week. We are grateful that the websites traffic has grown beyond those numbers and are looking forward to all the new readers, and contributors, 2016. Today we present the 10 most read articles on SeedSing for 2015.
10. Thank You for Inhaling: Money, Freedom, and the Legalization of Marijuana The movement to legalize Marijuana made its way to Ohio in 2015. Head editor RD Kulik takes a look at the reasons for the sudden acceptance, and failure, of marijuana legalization.
9. We Must Halt the Dumbening of our Society When Tina S contributes to SeedSing, it is always brings the intelligent discourse up a few notches. As someone who respects science, and facts in general, Tina is appalled that we embrace and celebrate stupidity in our culture. This needs to end.

7. Marty Will Be Here Soon. Do We Have All the Tech He Needs? Kirk Aug wanted to kick off the celebration for Marty and Doc's arrival to 2015 by wondering how far we have come in inventing all the tech from Back to the Future II. We have come a long way, and even surpassed, many of the films predictions. Still no time travel.
6.The Ohio Problem One of the very first posts on SeedSing discussed how the national political parties are leaving the cupboard bare for the local politicians. With the 2016 Presidential campaigns kicking into high gear the Ohio Problem will rear it's ugly head once again. Something must be done.
5. Our Future Source for Meat Will Not be the Animals One of SeedSing's most recent posts quickly has become one of our most read. Kirk Aug looks at the present, and future, of lab grown meat. On top of the nutritional value, what will be the moral value of meat from the lab?

3. In an Era of Bad Sports Announcers, Cris Collinsworth is the Worst Early in the 2015 NFL season Ty decided to blow off some steam and label NBC sports personality Cris Collinsworth as the worst announcer in America. The public seemed to agree. Every Sunday night, SeedSing has seen a spike in readership based solely on Ty's piece. Maybe Cris Collinsworth really is the worst of a bad lot.
2. #ILookLikeAnEnginner Needs to have Meaning Over the summer the twitter campaign #ILookLikeAnEnginner became a big news story. Tina S, a real engineer, was concerned with how this campaign was distorted the world of engineering. Many people agreed with Tina, and her post was shared on a variety of sites across the internet.
1. Please Leave Me Out of Your Cool Beard Club Ty decided to write a small rant about the rise of "cool beard guy" and why he did not care for their club like mentality. What was supposed to be a small, humorous, post quickly turned into the most popular piece ever on SeedSing. Dudes with beards seem to be very protective, and sensitive, about how others view their facial hair lifestyle. If they are not careful, Ty may just have a few words to say about their jeans and glasses.
Thanks to everyone for your support in reading SeedSing during 2015. We look forward to bringing more intelligent, humorous, and thought provoking pieces in 2016. We are the only place on the internet where you can read about the future of food, the current structural problems in politics, and the annoyance of the "cool beard guy". What more could you want?
