• Good, America, and the Playground Bully’s Fate

    This writer has lost more than a few playground fights in his youth.  I learned to give those sullen, foul mouthed, often lonely, bulked up bully boys a little space.  As I matured I watched wondering what happened to them.  On summary, their fates were pretty predictable.  They either learned that their height and bulk…

  • Good and a Gandhi Candle for America’s Darkness

    Have I that nonviolence of the brave in me? My death alone will show that.  If someone killed me and I died with prayer for the assassin on my lips, and Gods remembrance and consciousness of His living presence in the sanctuary of my heart, then alone would I be said to have had the…

  • Good and Move Over God, The War Department has This

    One thing we should have learned by now is you can’t prevail in a war using bombs exclusively and those ‘boots on the ground’ will ultimately be worn by our young men and women and not the people who send them to combat.  The last wars in the world seem to be “victories” celebrated by…

  • Good, AI Propaganda, and Two Goliaths Seeking their David

    The David and Goliath story is known in both secular and religious contexts to almost every man woman and child raised in western culture.  The giant of a warrior with shining armor, certain of victory, is brought down by a boy with a sling shot, a dead aim, and lots of faith. In Russia their…

  • Good and What Humor Can and Comedy Can’t

    You could call what is going on in this country right now is a comedy of errors.  You might laugh but it will only be an aerobic event, for in the end you will need to cry for there is nothing humorous in the content. I have seen a lot of political comedy on the…

  • Good and the Life of A Grief that Lasts Too Long

    I have followed in this new century four wars and this writer has felt overwhelmed by the tragedies of schools being blown up along with teachers, staff and their young charges. It seems when a nation decides on war be it in Iran, Gaza, Israel, Ukraine, Sudan, we sooner than later read another school has…

  • Good and the “Near Life” Experience of a Nation

    “Bitterness is the easiest way to leave this world having had only a near life experience“ Andrea Gibson from the poem Time Piece found in the book entitled: You Better Be Lightening Rage can become just another form of addiction. We are built to live and thrive. Anger is meant to be a short term handmaid.  Stay angry…

  • Good, War Dependency, and the Warring Mind

    Two world “leaders” dependent on war for personal legal reasons or bumping their poll numbers up have just started a war.  There is no question these two public men should be cautious and very public about entering a war in the names of their nation. But it seems not. Yes, the enemy is very easy…

  • Good, Lethality and What Can’t be Unknown

    What we think and how we think matters. What we think and document matters even more for what we think and document has power. That power separated from you, the author, has its own destiny engaging beyond your private universe and control. The desperate concept of “unknowing” came to us when we, as the science…

  • Good, the Chain of Kingdoms, Sloth, and the Constitution

    I want to be king of the world, but if not that, than maybe President/King of the United States.  If not that, then perhaps Governor/king of a state in the United States.  Well,  . .  maybe Mayor/king of a smaller town.  If not my town, than maybe President/king of my HOA.  School Board? At least…
