German Philosophy and the Unabomber

on April 21st, 2011 by admin

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 […]

Criminal Behavior, A Consequence Of Bad Thinking.

on March 22nd, 2011 by admin

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 […]

Progressive Education’s Destruction Of The Mind.

on March 1st, 2011 by admin

I just finished reading a disturbing autobiography.  Writer Walter Kirn discusses his traumatic educational experiences in Lost In The Meritocracy: The Undereducation Of An Overachiever.  Describing his life through the prism of education, Kirn tells a story of incompetency and profound anti-intellectualism that nearly destroyed him.  Kirn transfers to Princeton University where he is exposed […]

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 […]

Censorship Rears Its Ugly Head, Again.

on January 8th, 2011 by admin

It’s unfortunate I have to start the new year with a story so absurd, and so tragic, it can only happen in 21st century America.  This article reports that a new edition of Huckleberry Finn will be purged of the word nigger.  All 219 references.  Despite the fact that the book is set in the 19th […]

The Republican Party’s Hidden Assault on America.

on December 5th, 2010 by admin

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 […]

A SUCCINCT ARGUMENT FOR ATHEISM.

on November 7th, 2010 by admin

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 […]

WOMEN’S FEAR OF INDEPENDENCE, IS IT PHILOSOPHICAL?

on April 17th, 2010 by admin

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 […]

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM! THE COMING DESTRUCTION OF AMERICAN SOCIETY.

on March 20th, 2010 by admin

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 […]
