Thoughts On The Zimmerman Trial
The George Zimmerman Trial Is Not About Justice Thought-provoking article. “a young, athletic and hooded thug with lots of texting messages about guns, fighting and drugs, Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman. While bashing the neighborhood watch volunteer’s brains out on the sidewalk the young thug was shot dead. ” That’s a very different portrayal of…

If You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong…
The sycophants and supporters of tyranny are always bringing up that tired, pathalogical platitude that “if you’re not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to fear” when the subject of surveillance comes up. There are numerous reasons that that excuse is bullshit, but one that no one mentions is that you ARE doing something…

The only opinion of me that counts is mine

The Weather
There have been a couple of cracks of thunder that have scared Scotty enough that he’s tried to climb into my lap. But what a glorious day. We so need this rain. The clouds are not so dark that they’re foreboding, but the rain is heavy enough that it will reach the roots and the…

The Day Before
I told my good friend the other day that the universe is fractal. What we endure on a macroscopic level we also undergo on a microscopic level. Daily, in some manner or another, we have to do a back-flip into the chasm. If I knew then what i know now, I would approach everything so…
