Over the years that I’ve been “doing this,” writing and making videos about political and social issues, one of the most contentious issues I’ve hit – and one that is literally guaranteed to cause my readership in the English-speaking world, especially the US, to drop – is my opposition to corporal punishment. I also oppose…

I try to avoid broadsided attacks on religion, even though I consider myself atheist/secular humanist. While I really despise religion itself, that doesn’t mean I have to extend that distaste to every human being who is a believer, many of whom are just dandy people.

To abuse the ability to speak anonymously is to attack the entire concept of free expression. This revolving door of bullying trolls that for some reason has decided to reignite and escalate their attacks on my Facebook page over the last few days (a refrain from the earlier chorus of abuse and harassment resulting from…

Material wealth, or lack of it, does not make you good or bad.  There are very wealthy people who are good, there are very poor people who are not. I’ve taken a lot of heat over a graphic that went viral which discussed the fundamental uselessness of drug testing for welfare recipients.  The same old…
