  • Why Write Laws? – Religion and Politics

    How do you make good, decent people? It starts early, and preferably at home, but it extends to all of us. When you present a role model, and help young folks to understand how important it is to be good, honorable, helpful, useful folks, you’re helping to make the difference.

  • Government as Competition – Religion and Politics

    By way of quick example. Running a daycare in the place I live, more or less requires you avail yourself of USDA supplied food. Why? If you don’t you must buy sustenance, and pass the cost on to parents and guardians. The result? The USDA “owns that market.” Among other things this means, it mandates what daycares can do and say—how they may act. Fail to comply? Lose USDA “support.” This is the reality.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Emotion and Fact – Religion and Politics

    The first thing one must do if he or she wishes to take control of his or her life and mind, is to cease the assumption that others will be forthright. Too many people have “axes to grind” and grind them they will. Stop hearing what people say (even people you think you can respect and believe). Start doing “due diligence.” Start questioning the rectitude of those around you (all quarters). Begin to make a practice of assuming you must do the research.

  • Rashness – Religion and Politics

    19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. – James 1 (KJV), Bible Rashness – Acting or tending to act too hastily or without due consideration. – Dictionary.com Of all people I expect […]

  • Counting the Cost – Religion and Politics

    The point of all of this? If you think increasing taxation on the wealthy will result in sufficient funding for more programs, you should know you’re massively in error. Doing so would barely provide a “drop in the proverbial bucket” compared to what’s already owed by the federal government alone. And that’s if you taxed them at one hundred percent.

  • Successful Society – Religion and Politics

    One of the more annoying things that happens to you when you settle down, and start providing housing for yourself and others, is finding that “science experiment” in the refrigerator. It’s hard to decide whether it’s more annoying when someone else “creates it,” or when you do. Nonetheless, when you find it, it must be […]
