History on Repeat
In Science class when I was younger, I was taught about the food chain and pyramid. A chain is a rope of sorts. It has a beginning and an end. A pyramid is a triangle with a clear top. This is a fact. It is not arguable. However, whoever coined the idea that this is…

Superbowl of Soap Operas
When we view life from the view of how we perceive it to be rather than how it is, our decision making becomes skewed at best. Sometimes it is good to ride to the skies and soar like a bird to get a bird’s eye view of how things really are as opposed to how…

Tab Cola and a Magician’s Politics
Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Wait, nope, that’s not correct. Those who learn history choose to repeat it because it keeps those in the know in the status quo which equates to having more power and wealth. It’s a simple magic trick really. One hand distracts while the other…

Source Prove
The very idea that fact checking facts has become a thing is a clear indicator that we are on a slippery slope and probably headed off the cliff and into the abyss. Who knows? Maybe the bottom of the abyss is carpeted with marshmallows and the only hardship will be the freefall like the ride…

Tubes of Tolerance

Slow Suicide
Sometimes there are moments at which it becomes clear that capitalism, religion and government are in cahoots. Tobacco is one of those intersections. Now, I understand smoking. I was a smoker. I loved the process of buying the pack. Packing them. Pulling one out. Letting it dryly linger on my lips before lighting it and…

Bailing out the Ship
Scientists don’t disagree about global warming like an atheist and a christian disagree about god. It’s similar to the differences between Judaism and Christianity. Both believe in the same foundation and both believe that Jesus was a man. It’s at that point that the divergence takes place. On to Global Warming; it is happening. Scientists…

A Math’s Book Cover
I have a limited understanding of math. Past algebra and pre-calculus it gets very fuzzy, but up until that level, I have it down pat pretty much with the exception of buying things I want and how many cups of coffee I should drink daily. That being said I am always a bit confused…

All in the Balance
Those who make money have the ability to predict the future. Those who are rigid in their thinking cannot. Money is not the most important thing though. The predictor knows this and can see and figure out solutions to problems and/or clearly see what the solution to a problem will be in the future. I…

A Trumpian Shakespeare
Does anyone else find it ironic that some actors are the biggest critics of Donald Trump? Some go so far as to call him a fraud. All actors are frauds. It is literally their job description and was established by their demi-god playwright William Shakespeare. All the world’s a stage, and all the men and…
