What Kind of Tolerance is it to Hypocritically Spew Hate?

California Liberals: “Dear Red States: We’re Leaving”

FALSE: “Trump Refused to Condemn White Supremacy”

I really don’t get the characterization I’m seeing allover social media that Trump refused to condemn white supremacy other than the insistence of #OrangeManBad. There was no time for refusal — Wallace moved on too quickly. Let’s start first with… Continue Reading →

Living in Civilized Society

The Complexities of Cancel Culture

Dear Protestors: If you want to make a point and want me, as a citizen, to listen to you about that which you’re protesting, then you and your cohorts have to demonstrate to me that you care about civility and… Continue Reading →

Enforcing Justice: Is it Possible?

As the nation reels from a new set of riots after the shocking shooting of a man at least 7 times from behind, I’ve seen tons of commentary on line about the situation. Many people have condoned if not outright… Continue Reading →

I really don’t get the argument that justifies looting, violence, and property damage against people and businesses today because “we have 400 years of oppression.” B*tch please: you are not 400 years old and you do not get to claim… Continue Reading →

Our “Creepy” Presidential Choices

I suppose in an era where the world is exploring, creating manipulated advertisements about, giving talks about, writing about again and again and again and even posting bulletins like the one shown here seemingly trying to normalize pedophilia as a sexual orientation it makes… Continue Reading →

WAP & Culture

Pro Choice, Bill Gates & Herd Immunity

An op-ed came out from some doctors that was published in USA Today supporting compulsory vaccination for Covid and the gestapo like use of immunity papers. I was beyond triggered the first time I saw this opinion piece. It’s a… Continue Reading →

The Truth According to Duckerberg*

Out-quoted from this article titled Facebook overrules the opinion of individual doctors: “We do not want to become the arbiters of truth. I think that would be a bad position for us to be in and not what we should… Continue Reading →

Confusion, Authority, The Unknown & Equanimity

In response to my friend posting an opinion piece about how Sweden is not doing well, I posted the graph of the world numbers and Sweden’s numbers. My friend responded that it’s all confusing. Perhaps it’s a reframe, or maybe… Continue Reading →

Embarrassment, Disidentification, Science & Social Coercion

Another day, another exchange on social media. I’m embarrassed to live in a country where people refuse to wear a mask 😷 Seat belts save lives – it doesn’t take super intelligence to understand that. Why is it so hard… Continue Reading →
