Sometimes there is just a perfect moment. I never even know it’s happening, I never realize it until the time has long since past, the memory faded away. I don’t ever consciously think of it - and then, something will bring it flooding back and it spurs a feeling of lost contentment so strong that […]
The Bill of Rights, contrary to popular belief, does not guarantee a trial by a “jury of your peers” - that stems more from a few lines in the Magna Carta (that actually don’t really even apply). The text of the 6th Amendment reads, ” In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right […]
It is a still, windless night - almost airless. I toss and turn, avoiding my back, wishing the air felt cold. But it does not. It has been dark for hours, but the sun has not yet set beyond my flesh. It burns like a tortured soul.
I take some pills. I was out today, having […]
Today marks 40 years since the greatest engineering feat in all of humankind - putting man on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission. I mean no hyperbole - today’s cell phones are orders of magnitude more powerful than the computers used during the Apollo missions. They really did achieve something that could have been […]
July 4th weekend. Independence Day, for those of us in the USA. How many of us really think about that anymore? What it really means? I don’t know. Mostly we use it as an excuse to drink, grill, eat and blow stuff up. But then again - maybe that’s exerting our freedoms in a very […]
It’s good to see that the ultimate decline of civilization into anarchy isn’t quite here yet. I guess I’ll keep putting money in my 401K and trying to be a good person. That’s pretty much all I get out of a recent study by the AAA. They looked at cell phone use in California since […]
Why does the arrow of time only move in one direction? It doesn’t seem fair. No one knows why the world - the universe - works this way. But it does, and we can’t do a damn thing about it.
I’ve known, met, even loved a fair amount of people in my life. I’ve made mistakes […]
At least, not when the messiah is named President Barack Obama. Repeatedly I have posted here that Obama is not the liberal political messiah, he is simply another politician. The “devoted” leftists might label me a hater, but that is not the case - I voted for Obama in the primaries, I voted for Obama […]
There’s been a lot of anger coming from a lot of America (it seems) towards CEO’s getting huge bonuses even while their companies teeter on destruction and ask for billions in aid from the US Government. And I think that it’s absolutely warranted. To reward these executives for running their companies into the ground, with […]
I posted recently on how excited I was to hear President Obama refer positively to non-believers in his Inaugural Address. And it’s true, that one comment was worth a great deal to me. However, that does not negate the overwhelming presence of religion and god worship in general during the Inauguration. And there really was […]
