Responding To Comments

I wanted to apologize for not responding to comments in a timely manner.  For some odd reason I could not reply.  I’m still new to blogging, and I’m still trying to figure it out.  It’ll be one year since I started, and I’m still learning.  For the New Year I will respond regularly to comments. […]

I’ve been a little lax in posting lately, although I have not stopped reading.  I am making a major move; due to the economy I have to move back in with my family.  Granted I prefer to be on my own, I cherish my  independence.  But, I have no other choice; and I appreciate my […]

I can’t believe it has been twenty years since that horrific wall came down.  I was only eleven year old at the time, so my understanding of the events were very limited.  As I got older I was interested in comparing life in the United States to that of the Communist world.  I was appalled […]

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 […]

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.  […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
