I’m happy to be able to say that, as an adult, I have developed the qualities, values and ethics that I always admired when I was younger, and I work hard to sustain and improve upon them. I’ve probably always had them, but like most people didn’t always act upon them. That’s a part...
Peace on Earth, Peace in Syria
I posted these comments and thoughts the day after President Trump’s ordered airstrikes against Syria. While I do agree that actions against the Syrian government and President Assad must be taken and I have supported military intervention in the past, I think it time we as a world changed our response and way of...
Advice and Inspiration for 2017
2017 will be hard but not all bad if we care and fight what the future seems to hold. There is still reason for hope. Trump’s victory is very bad news for many people but the protests and exasperation show the majority is ready to move on. So let’s do that. Carry on, move...
Political Correctness:The High Road
Political correctness is now officially out in the USA as it was one of the things that was apparently making America so ungreat. It was according to complaints, too complex and racist to white people and their right to freedom of expression. This is, of course, just crazy excuses and denial, as its hardly...
Drones: Too much futurism?
While I’m fine with drones for some uses, such as police and rescue work, professional photography, and not worried about drones for personal use, as long as their well regulated to avoid disturbance, intrusion and privacy issues, I am totally against drones being used as business and delivery tools. It may be cheaper but...

I think most of us, worldwide, are in various states of shock and dismay. This may take a little while to wear off. We have suffered a great loss and now live with looming worry. This isn’t the outcome we expected, we told we could expect. But life goes on and it surely has....
We Shall Overcome
The crazy world continues. Trump was elected president and I join the world, this morning, in shocked, shunned disbelief. It is very hard to fathom the extent people’s dedication to the lowest elements. Trumps win is a victory based on unwarranted, nonsensical resentment, hate and ignorance but that really is what defines far politics...
Racism: Its all bad
Racism is alive and well on Facebook. For example: imagine if I commented on every black or white crime about how much I hate all those people, their countries should be bombed or called them derogatory words. I’d be attacked and unfriended for being racist. But if its Asian, its okay to be racist....
The truth will set us free
Just as all matter is science, all truth is reason. Meaning all truth can be backed up with data, facts, known information. You can apply this to any debate: abortion, Hillary Clinton, the rightness of animal rights, veganism. In these and all cases, you will find only on one side of the debate is...
Liberty and Responsibility
Humans need two things: one, freedom to live, be and do as they please and two, the understanding that there is a responsibility, that comes with this freedom, to not cause harm. If you cannot guarantee both, then you need then to establish bans, laws, mores and a status quo that do. The issues...
