Make no mistake, we’re all being played like a big ol,’ Mississippi catfish. All the gnashing, crashing and flip-flopping around in Washington, D.C., is not the sound and look of political negotiation being played out. It is nothing more than a giant Kabuki stage where the country is being set-up for the next act in […]
A significant body of work has been accomplished the last few years regarding some fundamental animal and insect behavior and the relationship of some simple algorithms to individual and mass human behaviors. The work is strikingly exciting, especially, for how easily it debunks scads of in-vogue, century-old social and political theories. Those theories are based […]
Many folks have described the 2012 Election as “the most important in decades.” Well, that could be but not in the ways or for the reasons that most people describe. “Thank goodness the 2012 Election is over!” I’ve heard and seen that sigh of relief more than once the last couple weeks. No disagreement on […]
The Downside to Nationalism
There’s a reason why secessionist talk still runs through American discourse–America was born of secession.

At first glance, many people will assume that the passage of Amendment 64, fully legalizing the production, distribution and sale of so-called “recreational” marijuana, as just the pot smoker’s dream come true. They couldn’t be more wrong. This isn’t all about weed. It’s about Freedom from federal intrusion where they don’t belong and have no […]
As if there isn’t enough to worry about. Well, astrophysics and associated phenomena is-what-it-is. We didn’t make the laws or the cycles of our solar system. The topic is of high interest and should be followed, the effects being devastating when they occur. Another possible problem in 2012-2016 period not being discussed much of anywhere: The […]
Pimping For NASA
Recently I watched Neil deGrasse Tyson hold a discussion at the New York Museum (03/15/2012) on the future of NASA through his book “Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier.” For a supposedly “forward thinker” his views on NASA and future space development have a decidedly rearward and reactionary view. Normally, I enjoy the talks and […]
The quadrennial full-court press is underway by establishment Republicans and Democrats to run the recycled “A vote for a 3rd Party candidate is a vote for Obama/Romney” scam. Neither the logic nor the reasoning works. In fact, it’s un-American. It’s still voting for evil and it shows. The concepts of the “lesser of two evils” […]
The history of bad Supreme Court decisions is very long and growing longer each session. Here’s another from 46 years ago, Reynolds v Simms, that has massive implications which no state has addressed. Recently, I was informed the US Supreme Court decision Reynolds v Simms was raised in objection to a Resolution presented at the […]
Having a practicing Constitutional Sheriff in every county in the United States is an ambitious, vital and worthwhile goal for Liberty organizations to pursue in each county. Here is a plan for doing so. Introduction Second only to Renewal of the Republic at the Citizen level is the goal of ‘re-constituting’ the role of the […]
