  • Coexist? … May 4, 2015

         Maybe you have seen those bumper stickers proclaiming “coexist”. The people displaying these bumper stickers are expressing the desire that all religions live in cooperation and peace. The majority of religions teach that they are the only path to heaven. Some proclaim that non-believers are heretics, even those that believe in other religions are…

  • A Misanthrope’s Rant …. April 27, 2015

    The stereotypical man is usually perceived as the protector, the courageous defender, the provider. As a result of the way society treats its males, this model, this stereotype, has become obsolete. There is a definite anti-male slant in Western society. The laws, the courts, and public opinion of men as a whole has degraded. To…

  • Abortion Revisited… April 20, 2015

    Back in January I wrote about my world vision asking the reader if they were possibly in agreement and therefore compatible. Here is what I wrote: I feel very strongly that abortion should be available as a safe and legal surgical procedure. It should be used sparingly for well-defined reasons… 1. Rape. No woman should…

  • Free Speech has Consequences… (for immediate posting)

    I have written upon this topic before. Actually, these two topics before. Feminism and free speech. I think supporters of feminism need to be shunned. On the other hand I support free speech. Everyone should realize that free speech carries consequences. I will shun supporters of feminism, but agree that they have the right to…

  • Objective Morality … April 13, 2015

    Many liberals as well as Conservatives have asserted that Islamic countries mistreat their women and also that they enforce a style of justice that is barbaric. Conservatives believe in a god for the most part. Their god provides for them a basis from which they feel morally obligated to tell Islamic countries that they should…

  • The Human Species is a Disgrace … April 6, 2015

    The fact that the human species is a disgrace is not debatable. There are many facets to this issue. It is why the human species is a disgrace, not if. Of all the species on this world, humans are the most advanced intellectually. They can ponder, consider, decide a course of action. They have the…

  • It’s the Bomb! … March 30, 2015

    How does one stop the unstoppable? Worse than a leaky ceiling, how Do you stop something that has the mind to thwart you? I have contemplated this before: The unstoppable juggernaut that is the human population bomb. It carries so many ills for humankind. The fact that our doom may occur due to it makes…

  • What is Normal? … March 23, 2015

    Whenever you posit that humanity is in trouble because the number of normal people who pull the load of society is diminished there is always that excessively liberal person that crawls out of the woodwork and exclaims “What is normal?”  Although it would be easy for me to list those people whom I think are…

  • The Cost of Being Correct … March 16, 2015

    So, you are sitting there… you know that so and so is a violation of the Constitution of the United States, but… how is this violation going to be corrected? You look around in your apartment. Nope, no bags of money lying about. You check your most recent statement from the bank. Nope, just barely…

  • Boogeyman… March 9, 2015

    The boogeyman, that nasty creature lurking under your bed, in your closet, or forever in the recesses of your mind. Something out to get you. People conspiring to put an end to your existence by one means or another. Nature itself rearing up as if somehow endowed with intelligence, a malevolent presence bent on your…
