  • Good and Standing in a Long Line for Justice

    If there were to be a fund to compensate people for the weaponization of justice I am pretty sure the folks who trashed and desecrated the Nation’s capital, or participated in the deaths of the police officers defending this beautiful building would not be first in line. Here are a few people who might be…

  • Good and Negotiating Victory in a War Already Lost

    Throwing the dice may work in a Casino once in a while, but it is not a good idea in the world of geopolitics. The average Iranian has certainly been a loser in this war when you consider the dice throw was counting on a regime change and only accomplished a regime rejuvenation.  The average…

  • Good, Children Living in the Lions Den While Parents Worry about Freedom

    As a writer who communicates through the internet, my sense of that network’s value is extremely ambiguous. As a parent and grandparent though my feelings are far less ambiguous.  The internet is an extremely aggressive environment full of snares and dangers.  Clearly the dangers of media driven internet are increasing as that internet becomes the…

  • Good, Universal Moral Distress, and a Wide Diverse World

    I was informed by the website provider that this project called The Good Decision has just passed being viewed in 50 plus nations.  This comes as a surprise for as you may know as a reader, this is a pretty humble project that simply tries to say what this writer feels needs to be said. …

    In making good decisions, an important indicator that the next move you are making is going to be harmful or at least bad for you and most likely others is the sense of shame. Shame, like anger is a short term emotional toxin that warns you not to proceed with a decisions or, if too…

  • Good, Genius, and Words Better than Mine: Billy Collins, guest poet

    Genius by Billy Collins (excerpted) Was what they called you in High School if you tripped on a shoe lace in the hall and all your books went flying. Or if you walked into an open locker door, you would be known as Einstein who imagined riding a street car into infinity Later, genius became…

  • Good and Herd Mentality Leadership

    Common sense tells us when a train is already coming off the tracks it is not a good time the hitch a ride on it. So why is the United States hitching a ride on the aggressions of Russia and Israel?  This nation once had a mind of its own on a mission of freedom,…

  • Good, Forgiveness, the 3R’s of Tyranny and Second Chances

    Never has the country ever had a president who needed and still has needs forgiveness more than our current president. Never has an individual apparently received more unconditional forgiveness from his support base than this same politician. There must be so something particularly morally wrong when a person so blessed with the benefits of tolerance…

  • Good, History’s Verdict, and Words Better than Mine. Tracy K Smith Poe

    Excerpts from the poem New Road Station by Tracy K Smith (for people in a hurry I tend to brutally excerpt poems with apologies to the author, but in the hopes new readers will head in their direction) History is in a hurry. It moves like a woman Corralling her children onto a crowded Bus.…
