An idea that has to be forced down another’s throat is not a worthy idea. We have proven this time and again, yet we still insist on forcing ideas on those that do not agree with us. Why is this? Does it give us a feeling of personal power to change someone else to our […]
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. For others to think the same of another, well … I am not sure if that is naiveté, wishful thinking, or simply and willful release of self-responsibility.

What is the purpose of Laws? Laws are designed to create order out of the chaos that is human culture. Without laws, there is often conflict. They are the baseline for individuals to know what is acceptable behavior as defined by those that govern them. That said, the spirit, as well as value of the […]
Once upon a time I had a lot to say. This of course was well before I started blogging, so I often waxed pathetic, poetic, pissed and occasionally practical with many a word to the ether, since I usually wrote or spoke to no one. Then I went all bloggy and suddenly I had plenty to say on all […]
