A calm veneer cloaks the rage within. Why the rage exists is a mystery. Like uncontrolled shorts within an electrical machine, the rage is such that it renders thinking impossible. An agitation without cause, an irritation without remedy. You need to know the cause to apply the appropriate remedy…. I feel the rage. I sit…

I am not politically correct. The advantage of being a solitary figure rather than a member of a group is that you can be less affected by “groupthink”. This term seems to refer to members of a group conforming to the same views on issues, views which are not necessarily the correct views as pertains…

What are the moral reasons that precipitate the need for abortion to be available and safe? Rape, Incest, mother’s health, and fetal development. Rape would include the qualification that if either party, male or female, were under age it would be considered rape and any baby conceived would be aborted. If the mother is physically…

God as a concept has been described as imagining something which there is nothing greater than. This would imply total perfection. Such a god would be so perfect that it could not create anything that was not perfect as well. This perfection, if the god was perfect, would be incorruptible. It would stay perfect and…

Evidence does not matter, only faith matters. How ripe for the picking they are indeed. The black man pretends that only white men can…

My vision of the perfect creature could not be one manufactured by evolution… yet, how else? Unlike the human being, saddled by millions of years of ongoing gradual change imprinting along the way savagery of vast scale upon the genetic code, the perfect creature I envision would lack the greed, the selfishness, the barbaric violence…

All of the gods from all of the world’s religions do not exist. The so-called radical left is a near mirror image of the so-called radical right. All human groups, whether religious or secular, eventually develop ideological beliefs that have no foundation in fact. Life only has the purpose you give it. Evolution has made…
