This is an outrageous situation that i did not now about until I read this letter. I am appalled. Having spent 25 years in the cable TV business and been open of the first seven regional general managers of a broadband internet service I know this issue from both sides. We no longer have time for this type of abuse of our primary information network…

The Saturday before Thanksgiving Follies — 2017

The fog of inertia hides increasingly radical change

Things are getting increasingly strange. There is a strange fog of calmness laying over the Western World while China rises to power…

A Wonderfully Shocking Display of Ignorance

Well, I read this. I was hoping for some entertainment but it didn’t happen. Rather this was interesting in that it illustrated important causes for the failure of America. And I am not talking about failure of the educational system, in fact it is still…

This is an interesting analysis. It seems to me this is, at best, the equivalent of damning with faint praise. Extreme religionists are saved from hypocrisy by stupidity. They gave up any pretense of morality to further their authoritarian dogma putting them in exactly the same corner with every other tin foil hat wearing crackpot. They obviously…

While I’m a supporter of Tulsi Gabbard as, at least, a fresh voice with some pretense of ethics, she is an operator in a failing and completely corrupt system. I sense that she is playing this both ways and is likely dangerous. Any reference to Trump cannot be made without fundamental destruction of any legitimacy.

No, we don’t have it wrong but neither do you have it wrong. The problem to me is the failure of the Semitic religions to clearly redefine themselves as spiritual practices dedicated to self awareness. To some of the people who consider themselves still participants in those religions their concept of prayer is a meditation technique focused on…

The gorilla knew a pointless asshole when he saw one. Our branch of the primate family elected one president. I’ve come to think Planet of the Apes was prophetic. We should be mostly relegated to institutions for observation as bad examples.

Our species is in the grip of adolescence

Could this be the case?

Mommy or the world?

Instant gratification needs to be denied

But never was before
