  • More on Forms of Government – Religion and Politics

    Much has been said by a great many people about the various possible forms of government. I have read or otherwise been “subjected to” a variety of presentations on the matter at hand. It’s also true that I maintain active “conversations with” others where possible on this consideration. All of this “put together,” has caused […]

  • A Sign of the Times? – Religion and Politics

    How many times did I hear it as a young man? Surprisingly, not many! “When I was a boy…” This expression was not often uttered by adults in my childhood—or at least not in my hearing. In fact, most of the adults about and around me, tended to keep to themselves that precious wisdom that […]

  • Even the Present Isn’t the Future – Religion and Politics

    I’ve said it before, but cannot say it often enough. Each lesson in life is a challenge to us. It is put in place for us to deal with, so that we may learn, and aspire to things greater than those the which we have previously come to understand, and with which we can hope […]

  • Foundations, Charities and Donations – Autism

    Much of what I write is a direct result of things that are said on the Internet. That’s less true for things related to Autism, where non-Internet “real life” tends to “trump” things I see and hear online. This post is no exception. I write this particular piece as a result of a conversation I […]

  • What am I Owed and by Whom – Religion and Politics

    I can’t remember when the seemingly trite expression became real to me. I think it was probably in the last ten years, but it may’ve been longer ago than that. The essence of the expression is, “Life is one gigantic lesson—or a litany thereof—to be learned.” The point here, is it that all other things […]

  • The Past Belongs There – Religion and Politics

    Sometimes you can just hear the complaints coming! You do your best to “nip them in the bud,” but people will invariably take what you’re trying to say the wrong way. The result is, I end up adding “disclaimers” of one sort or another to just about everything I write. This little piece will be […]

  • On Racism, the Reality and the Fallacy – Religion and Politics

    It is customary for me to add a “disclaimer” to any and all articles I do on the subject of “racism.” It looks something like this: “I don’t believe in racism, because I don’t believe in race. Race is generally an arbitrary, non-scientific construct of convenience. Humans are all of the same species, regardless their […]

  • I Just Learned My Child Is Autistic, What Now? Part III – Autism

    It can be a somewhat amazing thing to find out that you have enough to say on a given subject to write three or more thousand word blog entries on the subject. Apparently—and I should tell you that I’m a bit surprised to find this is the case—this is true for my “advice to people […]

  • I Just Learned My Child Is Autistic, What Now? Part II – Autism

    The very last article I wrote was on this same subject. I found that I had a great deal more to say than I initially thought. The reality is that there are a lot of things that more or less apply to “normal” children, on which a certain amount of “spin” most be employed when […]

  • I Just Learned My Child Is Autistic, What Now? – Autism

    I try very hard to not let folks I meet when with my son know that he is Autistic. Even so, I have told more than a few people this was the case to make them aware for one reason or another. Most of the time, the result is all but a sympathetic “There, there! […]
