  • Final Post of the Year….. December 29, 2014

    While retaining all the rights that belong to a human being as a citizen of the United States, and while remaining a citizen of the United States, I hereby resign as a member of the human race. The reasons are many. The quality of empathy possessed by human beings is shallow and unevenly distributed. The…

  • There Is No Room In The Medical Field For The Jaded… December 22, 2014

    One of the requirements of those working in the medical fields is that they possess the emotional qualities of empathy and sympathy.

  • Divorce Too Easy … December 19, 2014

    The first thing that came up when I searched for “Why are there so many divorces?” was the suggestion that too many young people are getting married simply because they are having a baby.

Now that human population has reached its present magnitude, evolution no longer holds sway. It is now only through arbitrary choice by the masses that females are…

  • Stop the Subversives From Destroying This Land … November 30, 2014

    The internet has become a means by which subversives can coax, cajole, persuade people to follow and support stances which are not in their best interests. Through subterfuge it is possible to find yourself supporting issues that are opposed to your existence. Through use of the human quality of empathy there are those who will…

      Think there is “rape culture”? YOU ARE INSANE!    

  • Honesty or Gesture?–Have A Nice Day … November 24, 2014

    Your friend approaches and speaks “How are you doing _________”. You respond with the usual “I’m fine”. The social pleasantries. These empty and dishonest gestures sometimes referred to as the social graces. How often have you asked someone “How are you?” and really meant it? It is a simple greeting. You might as well had…
