You’ve probably heard the expression “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” or some variation of it. An interesting thing to think about for sure. But I think the whole quote is far superior. Here’s what the quote actually is “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified …
I keep seeing posts going around that are talking about money or lack of money, lol, and it seems to me that a lot of people don’t really understand what money actually represents. For example, I have seen this one going around quite a bit. Sounds like a great idea right? See? We don’t need …
There is only one real currency and no, it’s not money. Read More »
I’ve given this a lot of thought and I’ve come to the conclusion that one of the reasons that the country is where it is today is because Christians have been taught a horrible misrepresentation of Christ. And the “Turn the other cheek” thing is at the heart of it all. Maybe we could also …
This is probably the most important thing that we could talk about today. There is a group of people who strongly believe that there are too many human beings on this planet and they have taken it upon themselves to solve it. These people blame you and your families for this problem. If it wasn’t …

There is something interesting in this country. All those who seem to be in charge of it, very much want to be. Maybe it’s not fair to compaire what we have now to the best President we’ve ever had. This is not just me saying this, every list I’ve ever seen from both sides has …
I know what you’re thinking. “Weren’t they the bad guys?” Often, but not always. And the story told in Next Generation of why they became allies is probably one of the best stories in my opinion. It does this by illustrating what is central to the Klingon philosophy. Honor. Without spoiling it, the short version …
Maybe we should listen a little more to the Klingons. Read More »
Yes. That’s it. That’s really the answer. That’s the blog. Okay not really. Just like this statement, there’s more to it than that. Of course, ignoring the fact that facts can’t care about anything because facts don’t have the capacity to feel anything. But that’s really not the point of the statement. So lets start …
We often over-romanticize the past. However, there is one aspect that I believe we over-demonize and that is, in a small town, everybody knew everybody’s business. Now while this is surely irksome and had it’s problems I think we often forget that there were a lot of positives too. When you’re part of a tight …
There are no secrets in a small town and that’s a good thing…well mostly Read More »
