“Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death and Taxes”
Samantha Bell, Joe Stack’s daughter in Norway, made a comment to Good Morning America stating that she considered her dad a hero because he acted out in a way to make others stand and take notice of a problem with our government that causes a state of exasperation to so many. She also sent out [...]
Liberal Suicide
I find it ironic that citizens who reside in the most liberal city of Texas, which recently incurred a kamikaze incident, would label suicide as an act of cowardice. It’s the same strong liberalism of these same citizens and their “ideals” that promote millions of abortions each year.
Here’s a quote from Wikipedia:
“Liberalism asserts that [...]
Another take on Joe Stack
It’s interesting how many strong views are exposed in the wake of anarchy. Joe Stack was a self-admitted victim of the IRS and the tax laws they enforce through intimidating behavior.
“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” – Thoreau
The issue had gone beyond just [...]
The Gender Gap, aka Where’s My Sex?
Last February, Family Life posted an article about why women need sex in their marriage. Many responses from women are either chiming in with a pity party or degrading men. These are typical responses from people who don’t take responsibility for their actions. When a child misbehaves he or she either tries to divert the [...]
Mainstream Media
Interesting how recent bipartisan attention about the lap-dog behavior of the mainstream media has recently erupted. In high school of all places, one of my instructors, quoting someone I can’t remember, stated that in the near future more people will realize that true news isn’t from newspapers, television, radio, books or schoolrooms. Instead, newsworthy truths [...]
The Language is Changing
Years ago a headline in the Life section of the Austin American Statesman said something to the tune of “It’s forbidden, it’s taboo, it’s a sin, it’s exciting – it’s adultery”. I don’t remember the exact wording, but that’s close enough for you to get the point.
The point being made was that the same act [...]
I’ll have what Pavlov is having
We are all conditioned by our world view, and our world view is conditioned by repeated training, environment, experiences and memory thereof. The world view of innocent naive children are vastly different from their disillusioned adult counterparts. This change occurs based on cultural drives within the person’s social experience, usually at the point one is [...]
What to blog
Blogging isn’t designed for those who want to be thorough. It might take hours or days to collect all the links, cross-references, photos and other media to fully encompass an idea or story. As such, blogs typically restrict themselves to text and are shoved out in 15 minute bursts or less. The result, however, is [...]
Copycat Coping
Two days after another school shooting, this time at Virginia Tech, some of the dust has settled. The media has started to move on and certain concerns have begun to wane. One of the most involving topics regarding this incident is that of the “Copycat Effect”.
The Copycat Effect is something that I personally think is [...]
TSA Reverse Profiling
While entering one of the airport gates in Washington D.C. I was pulled aside because I forgot there was an unopened bottle of water in my satchel. Although the person I spoke with was mildly polite, it was obvious that he was irritated. I asked him point blank why they didn’t allow unopened bottles of [...]
