I have never voted before. I never even registered to vote. Many people say this means I have no right to complain about what goes on in our society, since I don’t participate in the decision-making process. I wholeheartedly disagree. Not voting IS a vote. It is a vote for non of the above. But […]
A list of Federally recognized holidays: New Year’s Day: we celebrate a random day in the middle of winter that doesn’t actually start anything except an arbitrary calendar by partying hard and having mega sales. Martin Luther King Jr Day: we honor a wise and good man by pretending racism is gone and having mega […]
In recent weeks, I have made a determined effort to live a less … DIGITAL … lifestyle. Since I made the decision to do this, I have been involved in the development of three new web sites (one of them a store site), started a Go Fund Me campaign, and updated another one of my […]
Diehard DEMOCRATS: Diehard REPUBLICANS The minority (i.e. PEOPLE WITH BRAINS WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT DEMOCRACY)
To me, it is the ultimate arrogance … or maybe self-delusion for any one human to believe that they single-handedly can change the course of humanity.

I make no claim to be smarter than other people. I make no claim to be better than other people. I believe what I believe, but am always willing to hear a different point of view. I may sometimes find other people’s beliefs odd, or sometimes maybe even humorous, but I never deny them the right to believe what they want. […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of the issues of coming up with crazy ideas, is that sometime the only one who truly understands the idea is the one who thought of it. That does not imply any superiority on the side of the thinker, rather a failure on their part to properly express their idea. I have a sense […]
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. To me, one of the most irritating things one person can say to another is” That is the way it is. There is nothing we can do about it.” Yes, learning to accept […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It has always been my impression that one of the core values of the US Constitution is the concept of “innocent until proven guilty“. That encompasses the basic idea of freedom of thought and expression. One cannot be condemned for something without having proof that they actually did something wrong. It is the fundamental difference between an oppressive government […]
