Is it possible for a human to live a life free from manipulation? There are uncountable sources of manipulation. To prepare for resistance to all of them would be a monumental… possibly impossible… task. From the ad for the Golden Toasties for your breakfast table to the carefully arranged meme on Facebook… the goal is…

It is a fact that society in the United States is biased in favor of females. For example there are over 700 women’s hospitals in the United States. I was unable to locate a reference to any men’s hospitals. Even among hospitals in general many are unequipped (16% could deal with men’s issues) to handle…

The word or label “gentleman” has always been a somewhat dubious designation. Yes, no doubt there were some, are some now. However, the word or label “lady” used to mean something.

Except for those living under rocks, the Nazi hate campaign against the Jewish people in their midst is well known. The government under the control of Adolph Hitler felt that the German people needed something to unite them, something… to hate.

PC, politically correct and progressive demands that everyone accommodate every fetish imaginable. Society is forced to accept the presence of what amounts to a contagion… in a room of finite size… and close the door.

I find myself having difficulty having compassion and caring for people who experience overdoses of illegal drugs. It troubles me that tax dollars go for treatments of these self-inflicted problems.
