As far as blog posts go, this one will be lacking. I’m not sure I will be able to find a proper call to action, and I’m really not sure it matters. As it is more often than not, the action you take should be your own choice. In any case, this struck me recentlyContinue reading “Thoughts on Modern Democracy”

Segregation Persists… We Need to Fully Integrate
In my morning review of the day’s headlines, I came across this piece by Newsweek’s Janice Williams about a Bobcat who was kicked out of a Dollar General in Kentucky for not adhering to mandatory coronavirus prevention measures. She wasn’t wearing a mask. My initial reaction was, “This is a failure of the public educationContinue reading “Segregation Persists… We Need to Fully Integrate”
Hypersociety… Is it really sustainable?
The pace of life has only quickened in the wake of the technological explosion over the past few decades, amplified by a society that mimics the equally fast paced lifestyles of the celebrity influencers who have shaped our modern world. Many of those influencers burned out bright, running themselves into the ground in their oftenContinue reading “Hypersociety… Is it really sustainable?”
Coronavirus Never Goes On Vacation…
California, United States. Less than one percent of the American population has been tested positive for a virus that has been labeled by some as the deadliest disease we’ve ever seen.

Based on a true story about kindness in a darkened world I had only been back in San Diego for a few days. The last time I was in the city, I camped with my son in a quiet business park about a dozen miles east of San Diego proper. No problems, just a fewContinue reading “From Fear to Fondness”
Borderless
One of the biggest and most controversial topics of discussion during the last US presidential election was on Donald Trump’s promise to build a wall between Mexico and the United States in order to keep illegal immigration and smuggling to a minimum.

TMI – The Information Age and its Limits

She came toward the desk where I sat and let out a deep, tired breath while she dropped her backpack from her shoulderContinue reading “TMI – The Information Age and its Limits”
Love and War
Love and War. Violence and Sex. Ideology and Freedom. Fact and Illusion. All might be fair, but fairness is subjective and perspective can change what is right and what is wrong.

I’d Rather Vote for Trump than Vote for Trump
The entire world is in the middle of a health crisis — a crisis that extends its fingers out into economy, politics, and philosophy.
