  • Rioters Versus Vigilantes – Religion and Politics

    You may equate rioting and vigilantism, I disagree. Even if you do, where I don’t agree, both are wrong in any case. Fact is though, rioting tends to be the “worst of all worlds” because of its fairly consistent bad effect on unrelated people and property.

  • Ambassador Versus Employee – Religion and Politics

    You may not think you have that kind of power; to lose business for your employer, or cause the entity to thrive. Let me assure you, you do; your choices may mean the difference between having a place to go to work every day (wonderful or not), and watching a business’ doors close, never to reopen. Should you aim to be an ambassador, or just an employee? You decide. Just remember, decisions and the actions that follow have consequences.

  • Bully – Religion and Politics

    My message to those of you who help to convict others of minor crimes decades after they happen? Make sure there are no potential “skeletons in your proverbial closet” before proceeding. You may be next!

  • COVID-19 and Useful Pawns – Religion and Politics

    Here’s my message to those of you who drop bombshells without consideration of the truth. Maybe, just maybe you should consider being skeptical, and taking a little more time to do research before posting things that may well result in pandemonium as they make their way through the “social-media-sphere.”

  • Black on Black Crime – Religion and Politics

    There are issues in every walk of life and interaction type. That’s not bound to change. It’s all about the numbers. That’s where the problem exists. More people die of violent black on black crime by far, than die in police violence of any type. That is why people talk about black on black crime.

  • The Impossible Dream, Part II? – Religion and Politics

    The result is, there are any number of young people (and probably far too many older ones) who are prone to believe things that are entirely untrue. This then, is the “first battle.” To bring people to an understanding of the falsehood with which that have been plied, in order to rid them of notions that currently warp their thinking.

  • Socialism, Fascism, Imperialism – An Evil Triad – Religion and Politics

    My final point? None of the allied powers from the time around World War II supported socialism (though it can be argued that Russia did so, it was with an eye towards communism) or fascism. This cannot be said for the axis powers. In my mind, for many involved in the allied cause, this is still the case.

  • Young Turks – Religion and Politics

    I hope folks looking at what I’m saying here come to understand one thing if no other. The use of the name in question (The Young Turks) should be incongruent with any reasonably minded political group in the modern day. You think it’s not? Do the research and decide for yourself. I invite anyone who disagrees to “straighten me out.”

  • Spirit Versus Letter – Religion and Politics

    What do I conclude? The mask ordinance is a near total failure. This doesn’t surprise me in the least. More Importantly? Most folks care only about the letter of the law, not the spirit of it as such, a rule like that cannot help but fail.

  • It’s Free… – Religion and Politics

    Put another way, likely predominantly non-students got food, and the taxpayer (with little or no input) paid for it. That may not be a problem for you, but you can rest assured it is for me and others like me. I pay for what I eat and feed my child (who is “school aged”). When I see people with nicer, newer cellular phones and nicer, newer cars than me, drive up to a local school to pick up food, you can be sure I’m not in my “happy place” at that moment in time.
