Even before the grand jury’s report that found that the Catholic Church not only covered up child sexual abuse, but in some instances promoted the perpetrators, I had become sick of churches. I had tried to become a Christian several times in my life, each lasting a couple years of my life, but to no effect. I realized I’m not…
I was walking along a lake today in a fairly well-off neighborhood and came across this sign. It reads, “Caution! There are Dirty Uncapped Needles Here. (Watch Out! Keep kids and dogs away. We notified Parks and Rec.) Truly a brand new world from when I was growing up.
I was talking to someone today about the dysfunction we have in government and the false dichotomy we have between left and right, good and bad, Democrats and Republicans. I think Americans deserve more than boxes, parties, and labels. I would argue that most people aren’t completely to the “right” or to the “left.”
I never would have imagined a cop and a nurse would be on opposing sides. Cops, nurses, teachers, and firemen used to be symbols of our society working together. How times have changed.
We live in a time when you can’t express an opposing point of view. People are being called “nazi” and “white supremacist” for… supporting Trump? Did anyone hear what these people had to say? Probably hard to hear when there is a mob scene chanting.
I find myself wasting a lot of time on the internet these days. Actually, maybe not these days. Maybe this year. Maybe the last two years. Anyway, it’s a lot of time. More often than not, I regret it as time wasted. So then I came across this article about a Memphis theater cancelling a showing of Gone With the…
How crazy is it to be rich, and still not able to afford a place to live? Scraping by on $160k a year? Not able to buy a house on $1 million income? That’s what MSN is reporting is happening in San Francisco. Twitter Employee Making $160k a Year in San Francisco Says He’s Scraping By Makes me grateful I don’t…
I am making it known on this site that I am a Trump supporter. I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992 at the mint age of 18. I admire Bill for what he did in reforming welfare and bringing down our national debt. The economy? Heh, that’s more market forces. How convenient for politicians to take credit for it…
Here’s to another year of observing and commenting, perhaps a little more actively this year. Here’s to sharing insightful commentary, commentary that makes a difference. In the spirit of the new year, before the wine runs out, best wishes, and may all of your wishes come true.
I was just going through my emails (over 1500 of them) and came across an email I received on August 31. It is a must read. I had no idea, living in America, that people can, and do, get by on this. I copied and pasted this article from the following site: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-08-31/exposed-new-american-way-life
