Tit-For-Tat
I will be the first to acknowledge that people—whether in cohesive groupings or not, and some of them even fundamentally good in nature—have done things that have inflicted various levels of harm on others on the basis of at least questionable, if not outright errant accusations and suppositions. I’ll certainly agree that, most particularly the […]

Politics And Life
I’m not sure if, at the age of 54, I can officially consider myself “old.” I’m not even sure there is any kind of “official” definition. I know that—though the age has “moved up” in my lifetime many places—I am eligible at some venues, for the “senior discount.” Maybe that’s old, maybe not, I’ll leave […]

On Property Ownership
One of the hardest things about writing has little or nothing to do with the actual act. Rather, it comes before the actual time “penning” a given piece of work. Having once decide about what one is going to speak, there is a tendency to come to the stark realization that, the thing I about […]

Marriage – An Unfortunate Viewpoint
I think it highly likely that any complicated set of beliefs, will have adherents who have a variety of misconceptions about that belief set. It is obvious this must be true for Christianity, since a pretty crucial reason for the number of sects currently found in Christendom can be stated simply as “differences in beliefs,” […]

A Response in Refutation of the Cited Story On The Second Amendment
I’d just like to say that this person’s arguments in the listed article, are the very definition of clueless for the most part. By way of example, they talk about the idea of “well regulated” as though it was intended to discuss gun ownership, not the militia. Well regulated was intended to describe the militia, […]

So this is Fifty Four
I hope it’s true for everybody, age aside, that they learn a little more—become a little wiser and a little bit more able to deal with their respective world—on a daily basis. I’ve never been one to celebrate my own birthday, and I’m not intending to “break that trend” today. Rather than throwing confetti or […]

Where And Why Politics And Christianity Intersect
Perhaps in a perfect world, there would never be a need to discuss politics among Christians or between Christians and unbelievers. Maybe that’s not the case, but whether or not it is, such a need assuredly exists. The funny little reality is, my support for a particular political perspective comes out of my belief in […]

On Sanity
Much has been made by a great many people—myself included—about the need for standards. So significant is this need, that it is hard to imagine a life without them existing. In order to distinguish between righteousness and unrighteousness, rectitude and error, suitability for purpose or lack thereof and so many more things, it is necessary […]

On the First Amendment to the United States Constitution
I have yet to meet an individual who, on looking at it, would state that the United States Constitution was not a pretty amazing piece of work. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure such people exist. I’m simply saying that, either they have chosen to bite their collective tongues when around me, or I have […]

On Being Versus Doing And Discrimination
Perhaps by this point in my life, I should be used to the idea that a good many people tend to have a very limited “depth of consideration” when looking at almost everything found in the World about them. This certainly seems to be quite true when considering the idea of discrimination. One of the […]
