[November 29, 2022] Babies are beautiful. I don’t think many would disagree with that statement. And there is nothing more satisfying in one’s life than to bring a newborn into the world. Surprisingly, there is the practice of abortion that runs counter to our connection with babies. Once you have a baby, you realize the complexity, the struggles,… Read More »
[November 28, 2022] There is nothing more valuable than beauty. We all know this to be true, but most of us cannot explain it, nor can we fully understand why that is the case. To articulate an explanation of beauty stretches our minds. What is beauty, and why is it so valuable? Why is beauty confusing? Moreover, why… Read More »
[November 24, 2022] Our good and old-fashioned Thanksgiving Day is here. And, yes, to answer the same question from my readers, I do enjoy the day. I enjoy it because I’m blessed with beautiful memories of my parents [recently deceased] providing for their four children, often unruly but always grateful kids. We are all thankful that our parents… Read More »
[November 22, 2022] The ancient sages of the past gave us some darn good advice, and that is, “find your own words.” And, if those are truthful words, then there is nothing that can stop you. The power of the truth rings throughout all cultures and at all times. Are you a sovereign individual? Or not? If you… Read More »
[November 21, 2022] On April 9th, 1940, the German military machine invaded Denmark. I enjoy watching movies about war for many reasons but subtitled films of any kind are not on my watch list. A Danish war movie, April 9th (2015), is a war film that depicts the invasion. It follows a Danish bicycle Infantry unit sent as… Read More »
[November 8, 2022] It’s finally here; Election Day 2022. In preparation, I was at a friend’s house yesterday – Frank & Terry – to pick up credentials that allow my wife and I into any polling place in our town as “poll challengers.” We believe that making a difference in our community, state, and nation means going out… Read More »
[November 4, 2022] Interestingly, human children have the most prolonged dependency period of any animal creature. This makes the social bond between mother and child of primary importance. And from that, we find the importance of family. Around that mother-child bond is the need for a structure for it even to be possible for children to survive the… Read More »
[November 2, 2022] Andrew Kull, a distinguished Senior Lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law, is a distinguished author. In 1998 he published one of my favorite “intellectual” books of the 90s, The Color-Blind Constitution, which can be appropriately labeled a terrific book. In his book, he lays out the history of how Americans… Read More »
[November 1, 2022] Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard historic arguments on several legal challenges to anti-Asian race discrimination by Harvard and the University of North Carolina. What is most interesting was many “good people” took the position and are standing with those universities in support of policies that support race discrimination. That may be a bit of… Read More »
[October 16, 2022] Lately, I’ve been poking a bit of fun at the “woke” military recruiting ads. I think these woke ads are driving men (and, yes I mean “men”) away from joining the military. Maybe that is their intent. Nearly every commercial ad incorporates a LGBTI+ person in their efforts to appeal to the newest woke generation. … Read More »
