German Philosophy and the Unabomber

I must admit the Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski was an afterthought for me.  I stumbled upon a 2004 article of college professor Alston Chase.  He wrote a book called Harvard and the Unabomber: The Education of an American Terrorist.  I immediately checked this out at my local library.  I think this is an important book because […]

I just finished reading a fascinating book about the nature of supposed ‘out of character’ crimes.  Dr. Stanton E. Samenow is a forensic psychologist who wrote The Myth Of The ‘Out of Character’ Crime.  His whole approach to criminal behavior runs counter to reigning orthodoxy.  Samenow finds that in daily life criminals think differently than normal […]

It’s time for some light reading.  I came across an interesting book that gives insight to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy.  Written by a former girlfriend, Izabella St. James, she calls her book Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion.  But I want to focus on the author, a woman who is highly educated (she […]

Now that the Republican Party has taken control of the House of Representative, there should be jubilation among Americans.  However, there’s cautiousness in the atmosphere.  It’s as if Americans aren’t sure if the Republicans will actually stand on principle.  The Tea Party Movement (TPM) has been successful precisely because its goals are limited to the […]

I’m currently reading an interesting book that argues in favor of atheism.  Titled “>Atheism: The Case Against God writer George H. Smith gives clear, concise reasoning of why religious faith is detrimental to man’s conceptual nature.  Although Smith focuses on Christianity in making his arguments–they equally apply to all religions. What I like most about […]

I have been very busy for the past 2 months.  A business opportunity has literally fallen on my lap, and I am pursuing it with vigor.  I’m so excited because this is a challenge for me.  I will be stepping out of my comfort zone.  But it will aid me in achieving my goals.  In this economic climate, I’m trying […]

Groups such as Code Pink, National Organization for Women and others within the feminist establishment share an implicit philosophy that holds that women are victims.  I began thinking this through after reading a thought provoking book.  Called The Cinderella Complex: Women’s Hidden Fear of Independence, writer Colette Dowling gives an in depth look at how […]

I am enraged!!!  Point blank, I am appalled by the spectacle of Washington, D.C.  The White House and Congress are working together to undermine, or more accurately, destroy the Constitution.  This isn’t some old document that isn’t relevant.  This document laid the moral foundations of our nation.  But a document such as our Constitution is […]
