The Continued Assault on Freedom of Speech.

on November 6th, 2009 by admin

There is a pattern within our government that I find increasingly disturbing.  For example, I mentioned in a previous post of how dictatorship can happen in this country.  Reviewing Sinclair Lewis’s story It Can’t Happen Here, freedom of speech was the first casualty.  The administration has done its best to curb any organization who criticizes Congress […]

The Power of A Textbook.

on October 6th, 2009 by admin

I wanted to direct your attention to an article  I read.  It is the triumph of the human spirit.  The story is about William Kamkwamba, a young man from Malawi, who was prompted after reading a textbook about wind powered mills decided to create his own.  This story is such an inspiration to me.  One […]

Can Evil Genes Explain The Behavior Of Evil People?

on September 30th, 2009 by admin

I just completed a thought provoking book on genetics and psychopathic behavior.  Entitled, Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Failed and My Sister Stole My Mother’s Boyfriend.  Written by Dr. Barbara Oakley; the title is true.  The author’s sister did in fact steal her mother’s boyfriend.  This is what precipitated the book.  Dr.  […]

9/11 TERRORIST ATTACKS 8 YEARS LATER

on September 11th, 2009 by admin

It has been 8 years since that horrific day of barbarians inflicting mass murder on our nation.   As that day unfolded, the question I asked myself was why would 19 young men, who lived in this country, enjoyed its freedom and prosperity for years plan this evil deed?  I didn’t accept the political correct views that these men were […]

PRESIDENT OBAMA WANTS TO CONTROL THE INTERNET.

on August 29th, 2009 by admin

As I wrote in a previous post, the idea that a dictatorship can occur in America is not far fetched.  Under the pretext of cybersecurity, the Obama administration wants to effectively shut down private internet service.  This is unbelievable to me.  Read the article for yourself and see how vague the language is.  It’s important […]

READING RAINBOW COMES TO AN END.

on August 29th, 2009 by admin

I’ve just read some sad news.  A favorite show of mine from childhood, Reading Rainbow has ended.  Words cannot describe how I enjoyed this show growing up.  I can’t believe it was on for 26 years.  From reading the article, the reason for ending was financial but also philosophical.  The purpose of the show was […]

A LOVE STORY WITH DEPTH.

on August 16th, 2009 by admin

Romantic Realism is a genre of art that embraces values.  It presents a world of characters, whether in literature or art, who represent what life ought to be.  What kind of life is depicted?  It’s a life of purposefulness and heroism.  It’s the individual who lives his life with dignity and integrity.  A book that embodies […]

Can A Dictatorship Happen In America?

on August 8th, 2009 by admin

The title of this post serves a purpose.  President Obama is now resorting to authoritarian tactics to silence the debate on healthcare “reform”.  I put reform in quotes for a reason.  This plan would financially ruin the country.  It would also give government unprecedented control of  our lives at our most vulnerable.  Ladies and gentlemen we have now entered […]

40th Anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing!

on July 25th, 2009 by admin

Last Monday was the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 space mission to the moon.  The History Channel showcased the original CBS footage of Walter Cronkite reportage.  It was unbelievable.  This spectacular feat was accomplished not by praying or wishing, but by logic and reason.  Only human beings could make this possible.  I wish I was […]

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! BUT MORE THAN JUST PICNICS.

on July 4th, 2009 by admin

This day is usually about picnics with family and friends.  But for me I have decided not to go to any picnics.  In fact, I do not believe this year’s 4th of July is a happy occasion.  I’m increasingly disturb by what our government is doing to our country.  I think the death of Michael […]
