I Need Some Advice

A friend of mine owns a business. A few years back he hired a guy to be the CEO. The guy had an impressive resume (though now that we’ve done some digging, it appears to have been inflated) and even though my friend didn’t really get along with the new CEO that well, he needed to shake up his…

People or Policy?

A friend recently inquired:

Curious to know how you respond to people saying not to vote for the person but instead for the policy they stand behind? In reference to a pro for Trump. (i.e. That the president is simply a mouth piece for pro life issues as a Christian).

I Do Not Agree to Disagree

A few weeks ago I posted taking aim at phrases like “It’s a free country” and “ever heard of free speech?” It was primarily designed to clear up some misconceptions around how laws function generally in a society and specifically how the First Amendment protects speech and…

Trump Failed. It’s Science.

Too Emotional To Lead

After the debate I keep seeing memes showing various male politicians all worked up or yelling or crying with a message along the lines of “Men are too emotional to hold positions of power.”

No one is just one thing. No one is only bad or only good. No one is only loving or only hateful. Sometimes certain characteristics become so prominent they overpower our ability to perceive the other, but no one is just one thing.

The VP Debate

Analyzing a debate like the VP debate tonight is an interesting endeavor. So many different ways to measure it. In some ways the VP debate is much more interesting to breakdown than the P debate because that one was such an insufferable circus.

Love and Accountability

Personally, I think a lot of our most significant problems will remain until we can hold ourselves and each other accountable AND love, help and include each other. For some reason we have made these concepts mutually exclusive to our profound detriment. Love has to be more than…

That Feels A Little Better

So, what happens when you are sick and tired of the fight, but the fight isn’t over? And you know that the outcome matters to your life, but matters even more for people who don’t have it as good as you do. And you can see what the fight is turning you into and you don’t love that…
