Good vs Evil

Those Who Forget History…

This should be published on the front page of every newspaper in our country and in every church bulletin and newsletter. Read it, share it. No greater truth has been told…

Chekhov’s Gun

Chekhov’s gun is a dramatic principle that requires every element in a narrative to be irreplaceable, with anything else removed: Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go […]Read Post ›

The shootings are not senseless

Every time there is a mass shooting (which on average is every sixty four days) one of the key words we hear describing the tragedy is “senseless.” This would suggest the action was without meaning or purpose.

Campaign 2016 and the 420: Marijuana Policy and the Coming of Big Weed

Is marijuana[1] a weed, or plant?  That is, is marijuana a plant one does not want, or a plant that one does? Is marijuana a plant one wishes to pull up, or cultivate?

In that letter, Dylan claims that when she was seven, Allen abused her, some 21 years ago It disturbs me that so many people have […]Read Post ›

Welfare Rules – Better Know Them

This meme pops up every two weeks or so, with a lot of “THIS IS SO TRUE LOL” and “THIS IS OBUMMER’S FAULT” comments from people with the appearance and mentality, on average, of a 13 year-old.  These nasty assholes need a kick in the junk. It depicts  the latest “let’s hate the poor and pretend that trying to survive on the […]Read Post ›

BREAKING BAD

Like many, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the final episodes of Breaking Bad. In case you’re among the few who aren’t familiar; it’s a show about Walter White, a 50-year-old High School Chemistry Teacher who’s been a loving father, a loyal husband, and an all round highly regarded member of his community. And then he gets […]Read Post ›
