  • Good and When a Detention Facility becomes a Concentration Camp

    Detention has become a euphemism for concentration.  Facility has become a euphemism for prison camp.  With a goal of 3,000 immigration arrests a day this administration is, intentionally or not, setting, the stage for concentration camps in America.  This is… Continue reading

  • Good, Faux and True Authenticity, and Survival

    One of our political parties is looking at the attribute ‘authenticity’ to strengthen their political approach. The challenge with authenticity is that it is nearly impossible to fake or predict. Our current leader is probably where he is because he… Continue reading

  • Good , Grief, Funerals in Minnesota, and the Art of Rage

    This was written a few days before the assassinations in Minnesota so I will post it lest we forget too soon.  Two ways to accomplish change:  create a compelling vision with a plan, or simply engineer mass rage.  The second… Continue reading

    True hatred such as anti-semitism can’t work unless the context is built and preconditions are met. One can set up certain pre-conditions and simply walk away as the actions of planted hatred roll out their grim statistics at arms length. … Continue reading

  • Good and Bring In the Clowns

    Two men/boys in positions of vast power and influence publicly squabbled with each other yesterday. The squabble would be garden variety pathetic except they hold positions of power in our nation. The squabble involves the livelihoods of hundreds and thousands… Continue reading

  • Good, Why We?, and Wily Culpability

    This Project might pull in more readers if this writer stopped using the pronouns  “we” and “us” and started pointing fingers.  I think the current approach may be frustrating to some friends both liberal and conservative.  There are reasons for… Continue reading
