Christianity, Islam, and Terrorism
Christianity – “Less Violent” than Islam? I want to say before I get rolling on this that I no more endorse the religion of Islam than I do any other religion. I firmly believe that religion and fundamentalist extremism by religious adherents has been and continues to be the most destructive force in humanity. With…

Ron Paul Is A Fraud
Populist Pot Pandering I’m pretty fed up with this whole “Ron Paul is SOOO GREAT” vibe that seems to be so popular online. Ron Paul is no different or better than any other right-wing Republican in any substantive way. His primary basis of support among young people comes from his support for cannabis legalization and…

I Got A Right!
Disagreement A couple of days ago I got into a pretty intense disagreement with a very close friend. Of course, people disagree all the time. That’s not news, or noteworthy.

The Big Shill – Why Sir Richard Branson Should Follow Me, And So Should You
I don’t just want you to follow me. I want you to share me. Why? What makes me worth sharing? I’m trying to change the world while barely managing to pay my minimal bills – rent, food, web hosting. With nothing but a camera and an attitude, I’m teaching people how to think clearly again,…

Authoritarianism, Spanking, and Casey Anthony
This is not an easy situation for me to comment on. There are a lot of reasons for that, which I’ll explain as we go on, but first I must explain why I’m bothering, because even as I write this, I’m going back and forth in my mind as to whether I should. Unfortunately, I…
