I will not go quietly into the night!

My my… litigation here, litigation there, litigation everywhere. Some people are learning that it simply does not pay to be a good samaritan. A woman helped pull her friend out of a burning car that she feared might explode and now the “friend” is suing her for pulling her out “improperly”. No good deed…

I am not anti-social, though I am anti-society and that makes me shun society. This revelation or might it be termed shock came to me within the last couple of years. I have through observation gleaned a stark truth: Society is decidedly anti-male. This objective perspective was arrived upon by realizing the truth about feminism,…

The Myth: The majority of people now parrot the politically correct progressive narrative that people who are gay are born that way. Personally, I never have. In my opinion it is upbringing and their surroundings which determine orientation. Science does not back those asserting a genetic origin for homosexual behavior. No fewer than eight…

Society has a narrative going. By that, I mean it has a direction, that it is being clandestinely guided. The people doing this guiding consider themselves well-meaning and are called SJWs.

Why isn’t it reported in the media? Many say it is because media moguls consider that it might be inflammatory or racist to report…

January 12, 2015, I wrote: “For the animals we keep as pets there has always been the option of euthanasia available to them to allow a death with dignity. Because of ancient religious beliefs euthanasia has always been denied humans because the religious feel that death should occur in the time decided by a deity.…

War… nobody wants war, yet there are so many wars. If nobody wants it how come it keeps cropping up? Such cruelty from a species that possesses such capacity for empathy… there seems some disconnect. The malady of humans is the result of millions of years of evolution. The primitive drives are never left behind…

My assertion is that capitalism is successful because it feeds the inherent greed of people. Capitalism, by itself is not the culprit. If the individual engaging in capitalism was not greedy and accumulating vast wealth while others around were living in squalor, then capitalism is a useful instrument for creating wealth. However, if the individual…
