Once again I find myself addressing an issue I have addressed before. That is because people still make assumptions. People and groups both make assumptions about the members of their groups. This causes division and destroys the effectiveness of the group. Atheism means non-belief in deities. That’s all it means. There is no other baggage…

Most seniors and others on Social Security live from month to month… they spend all their income and merchants are grateful for the business. Trump and the callous GOP have made enormous cuts in this vital income. In ten years there may be no Social Security. They will have taken billions of dollars out of…

Perspectives depend too heavily on mood. Mood is too heavily dependent on the reception of outside information. The present variables that have created the mosaic which is your existence may or may not change, yet the perspective with which you regard them is so fragile that even without change, just the reception of information that…

I fail to see why every organization of males must be feminized. Now the Boy Scouts of America under the pressure of the politically correct society has decided to feminize. Previously, all men organizations have faced similar demise nationwide. They may change the name to “Scouts of America”. What does this mean? There will be…

I am not politically correct. The advantage of being a solitary figure rather than a member of a group is that you can be less affected by “groupthink”. This term seems to refer to members of a group conforming to the same views on issues, views which are not necessarily the correct views as pertains…

Pretense, it is all a pretense. The man or woman pretends that they are children of god. They have no evidence, yet, they pretend to know they will have eternal life. Evidence does not matter, only faith matters. How ripe for the picking they are indeed. The black man pretends that only white men can…
