• Good and Why Nations Aren’t Nurturance Communities: American Conflations

    The American diaspora to Italy just had a hard rejection.  Italy recently overturned the rules of citizenship and those people trying to close the ancestral loop of immigration to America and back just learned they may not be welcome as returned Italian citizens.  Rejection hurts in so many ways.  Being stateless is painful. Our current…

  • Good, Nationalism and Religion, and the Creative Tolerance Mandate

    The word good, under the right circumstances, can be paired with either nationalism and religion, but never can good be tied to nationalism and religion linked together.  The founders of this country knew from the outset that nationalism and any religion as a paired phrase was fatal to the long term of a democratic free…

  • Good, Chaos and When Delusion Breaks Us Down

    Vulnerability can be a wonderful thing until it isn’t.  In order to enjoy life one must be vulnerable to the delicate inputs of joy’s networks because if you aren’t open to joy, eventually you become numb. The question is being asked in the news around the country; why are Americans so unhappy right now? The…

  • Good, Extremely Shallow or Rooted Radical: Americas Choice.

    Both the left and the right of politics in this nation are a blend of ideological and strategic, but seem to avoid becoming radical. We currently have an administration, both ideological and strategic, that has shed nearly all the values of democracy in an effort to make the trains run on time, but have lost…

  • Good, Political Hatred and Orthocardia, Right Heart

     “I am tired of being pitted against my neighbor. I’m tired of being told to hate my neighbor. It’s been more than 10 years of this kind of politics. Politics as blood sport, politics as trolling and owning, politics as total war. It tears families apart. It ends friendships, and it leaves us all feeling…

    One of the harder jobs on the planet would  be, in this writers mind, working as a TSA agent.  Their job is critical for the safety of flying and they have to interact with courtesy and on a never ending assembly line of urgent, often irritated human beings at their worst moments  Not even  the president…

  • Good and Drowning in a Lake of Lies and Deception

    AI images that don’t identify themselves overtly as AI when they are AI, are a lie.  Those lies will quickly destroy the credibility of the internet as a personal business and commercial tool.  In these past 6 months this writer has inserted a caveat in his preconscious mind when coming upon a striking image or…

  • 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…
