  • On Captialsm and Wealth – Religion and Politics

    How do you in the United States (at or relatively near the “poverty level” in particular) think it would feel to be filthy rich? What if I told you that by comparison to much of the rest of the World’s population, you know? You see, it turns out that in very few places in the […]

  • Why I’m a Skeptic – Religion and Politics

    Many people are prone to look at a person like me and immediately chant the “No negativity” mantra. The funny thing is, I’m not a particularly negative person. What I am is a “skeptic.” In my mind, the most important thing about something one does or says, is that it should be treated as suspect […]

  • We’re Sorry, The World is Currently Closed – Religion and Politics

    Here we are! 2020 and the Great Corona Scare is in full swing. I know that almost everybody I’ve talked with about this is at least marginally and mostly completely of a different opinion surrounding all that’s transpiring, than am I. The thing is, the Corona Virus in its current mutation is like so many […]

  • Employers, the Benefactor Most Beneficiaries Love to Hate – Religion and Politics

    You are a successful businessperson. Most people have no idea what you had to do and be in order to accomplish that. They look at your position today and assume ’twas ever thus. They’re unable to imagine the “days of ramen.” They cannot envision you struggling to pay for gas in your old used car. […]

  • I Say Your Kid May Be Austic? Be Happy – Autism

    Can you imagine being happy to have someone tell you your child may be Autistic? If you hear that from me, chances are, you ought to be happy! Why? Before I answer that question, allow me to tell those who don’t know me a little bit about myself. Firstly, you should know that I’ve been […]

  • Desires and Expectations – Religion and Politics

    There’s an old expression in English. The expression in question is, “Quibble terms.” It’s so easy to hear a word, and decide that its definition is something entirely different than what someone else looking at the same word assumes it to mean. I want to be clear when I say that, what I am not […]

  • My (Fill in the Blank) is Autistic – Autism

    It’s a “mixed bag.” Pretty much anybody who’s paying attention is aware that someone (maybe more than one someones) they have met casually,  know a little more closely, or have charge over, is Autistic. The reason it’s such a mixed bag is, on the one hand, it means folks are aware that “Autism is a […]

  • Who were you? Who are you? Who will you be? — Religion and Politics

    There are subjects one would assume are “done to death.” And maybe that’s a fair statement for the one I’m intending to address with this post. That having been said, I also firmly believe there are things that cannot be said too often. Further, there are differences in presentation that may cause a given point […]

  • Religion, Politics, Philosophy and Relationships

    One of the rarest things I have experienced in my neither greatly short, nor particularly long life, are people who I can account “kindred spirits.” This is rather amazing when you consider that I ought to have a great deal in common with folks who are Christians on the basis that we claim Christ as […]

  • Benchmarking Disability – Religion and Politics

    The first thing I need to do with this article is to “disclaim.” I’m not suggesting a “real” or “complete” process for “benchmarking” disability. Rather, I intend to talk about the consideration of the seriousness of various disabilities as well as what considerations can and probably should be used to “benchmark” disability. One of the […]
