  • Censorship To Protect The Sensitive …

    For this new year approaching I have decided that censorship is necessary in my posts on Facebook. There are many people who cannot take the full caustic nature of reality and must be shielded from it. Therefore, upon determination of their sensitivity I will designate them in my “friends” as sensitive in nature and they…

  • Humanity Sucks, Big Time … November 15, 2015

      There are many reasons why humanity just plain sucks. What? Of course this post is my opinion, and no I don’t want any criticism, constructive or otherwise. One of the main reasons it sucks for me is that over one-half of the human race has seemingly turned against the other half… for no good…

  • Why Pretend To Forgive? … November 8, 2015

    Forgive thine enemy. What? Are you crazy? Well, in any case, such forgiveness would be pretense, nothing more. You could state it clearly as loud as you want. You could claim it true and genuine forgiveness, but it would be a lie. Once deceived, once treated badly, you will forever be wary of the person.…

  • Don’t Let the Door Hit You…. November 4, 2015

    Well, that was a pleasant surprise, at least for me… Issue three, the marijuana initiative sponsored by the greedy and backed by the potheads went down to defeat in Ohio. I am surprised that there were that many good and decent people left in Ohio to vote this thing down. Now, you people, yes you…

  • Do You Relate? … November 1, 2015

    There is more to relating than simply understanding the spoken or written word. There is more to relating than simply understanding the message. The intent and attitude behind the words is also part of relating. The concepts, the ideals expressed… the morality. It is true that the written word is less capable of relating than…

  • It Takes A Special Kind of Monster…

    It must take a special kind of monster to be a member of the Republican Party. Such a monster must believe that Social Security, a program that people pay into all their lives, is a charity to which no one is entitled, and all are selfish to accept. Such a monster must look upon with…

  • Are You Sitting in the Park Enjoying the Ambience, or Are You Loitering? What Constitutes Loitering? Why Is It Illegal? … October 25, 2015

      Black’s Law Dictionary defines loitering as remaining “in a certain place for no apparent reason.” The Freedictionary defines loitering: loi·ter (loi′tər) intr.v. loi·tered, loi·ter·ing, loi·ters 1. a. To stand idly about; linger without any purpose. b. Law To violate a law or ordinance that prohibits persons from remaining in a given location without a…

  • The Tragedy of a Late Realization… October 18, 2015

      It is tragic when the idealism of youth begins to fade away and die. When humanity is revealed for what it is rather than what you thought it was the disappointment can be paralyzing. That one word now encompasses the entirety of my view of human society: disappointment. More tragic is the disappointment you…

  • Should the Death Penalty Be Abolished? … October 11, 2015

    ►Commentator: Our distinguished panel of experts will debate this controversial topic. First on my left is that all-powerful, all-seeing, all-doing, all-around powerful entity, let’s welcome Jehovah. (Applause) Second we have have that guy from down under, and I don’t mean Australia, that majestic fallen angel, Beelzebub. (More Applause) Lastly we have a representative of humanity,…
