I recently watched the 2002 movie 25th Hour, and was impressed with the way Mr. 40 Acres and a Mule, AKA Spike Lee, handled a bunch of White cracker-ass actors, in a film where immediate post-9/11 NYC was an obvious yet uncredited member of the cast. It was a good movie all around, and my favorite p…

First time in the U.S..... I remember when we were flying into L.A. from Papeete/Tahiti end of 1979, got out of the plane and didn't know where to go. It was about 1am, and we remembered that there was supposed to a nice town some way up north called Santa Barbara. But we were tired a…
Yes, I use the word heretical for a reason. It is OK for you on the left to use any news source you choose, and the only news source that is remotely to the right, must be denounced. It is scandalous to watch FOX! I personally watch it very little, but I find it very interes…

There are lots ways to teach children about the world, including some that might not be politically correct in today's world. Is this good parenting, or child abuse?
First I need to clarify some confusion which arose with my prior article regarding "settled science." It is settled science that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. That was established in 1863 by John Tyndall in England. That lightening is electricity was determined by Ben Franklin in 1…
(Written in autumn of 2017) The long-gone referendum on the British exit from the European Union has recently become a subject of very active discussion. It would seem that there is nothing to talk about here, since the results of the referendum have long been summed up, the Brexit su…
OK, 48 hours has passed and I’m posting again albeit this time I really had to dig deep to find a reason. Along the way I chanced on Frank Zappa’s Weasels Ripped My Flesh and was inspired to take up the keyboard one more time more by how this title always made me smile than anything else…
After 37 years working in the Corporate world, I finished my career as a National Sales Manager for a major multi-national corporation. Yes, one must work hard to get ahead, however there are forces at play working for a traditional company, which can stack the deck against you. Internal p…

Socialism, which is defined by the state controlling the means of production, is incompatible with Civil Rights because it requires that the state centralize government power in order to take away assets from some people and give them to others. You can imagine why Socialists might not fee…
American settlers that had to endure the horror of war with natives for generations could surely at times become quite brutal themselves but were most often tempered by Christian mercy and established rules of warfare. When the founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, One …

My distrust of the Islamic faith h…
