On Left Versus Right Wing
It seems to me that a good many people are confused as to what Left and Right wing “look like” and, as a result, what political ideologies fall where on the “left versus right scale.” I would like, with this article, to talk just a little bit about how I understand things, so that others […]

On Science and the Scientific Method
One of the saddest and scariest things I have seen in the course of my life, is the patently absurd abuse of science and the scientific process by people wanting to bend reality to fit their will. The first error that many make where science is concerned, is the assertion that science is supposed to […]

On Pregnancy and the Sanctity of Human Life
In my previous article, I took the time to dispel some myths about the sanctity of human life and how Conservatives are wont to see it. I consider that to have been important to do, but not as important as what I feel the need to address in this article. Though the prior article made […]

There are other reasons differences […]

If You’ve Ever Wondered About the Expression “Indomitable Spirit” – About MSG Roy Benavidez
Being pretty much a pacifist these days, I really don’t support the idea of military service—even though I spent nine years in the U. S. Air Force. I recognize the right of states to maintain militias, and the intent of the Second Amendment of the U. S. Constitution to support unhindered arming of U. S. […]

About Hillary Clinton
I don’t normally talk about things I don’t consider timeless on this blog. I am going to make an exception, but let somebody else do the talking.

Another Favorite Video -Immigration, World Poverty and Gumballs
This is an excellent video come to explaining why mass immigration to the U.S. (or anywhere else) is not the solution to Poverty (or much of anything else).
