  • The Corporate Oligarchy

    The Corporate Oligarchy is on the verge of rising out of the ashes of the Capitalist Democratic Republic that we once loved.  In 1765 a somewhat nationless group of men and women joined together to free themselves from their oppressors. Regardless of nation of origin, these people banded together in order to build a new…

  • Global WARming

    Many problems today can achieve their solutions through grassroots movements and the activism of the individual.  Sometimes the problems need solutions with a heavier hand. Stop beating around the bush and call a spade a spade. It’s easier that way.   For example, smoking.  Americans might think that this battle has been one.  I assure you…

  • The Lens of Assumption

    Begin challenging your assumptions. Your assumptions are the windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile or the light won’t come in. – Alan Alda Assuming and being the assumed about sucks.  I know this to be true.

  • Blindered Truth

    I view the world through the blinders of an 82 VW Van driving, Jack Russell owning, ultramarathon running, Vegetarian American living in Turkey. What do your blinders see? The truth is a weird thing. When we are kids, it is clearly black and white and then we learn about Santa Claus and the Easter bunny…

  • The Time of the Semantic Debate

    Tastes Great. Less filling. The ad campaign that dumbed down America. In 1987 Miller Launched the campaign that riled our spirits and helped to rewrite the direction of our history. Prior to 1987 people were simply more informed and there buying was based on necessity, value and performance. This was the period when Japanese and…

  • An Ebb and Flow Rock

    Most surfers understand that their sport is dependent on the ebb and flow of the sea.  Those who don’t tend to get pulled along the rock or reef. Climbers, however, rely on the immobility of the rock.  When the rock breaks, they fall. Some people prefer a stable life. One with a specific path that…

  • The Blame Game

    Blame is a tool usually employed by siblings to avoid punishment.  In 2019 it is the tool employed by those in power and who make the rules to avoid punishment.  Ironic isn’t it. Why is that? When children do it at home or in the classroom, we teach them that there are alternatives to solving…

  • Impeach the Problem not the Outcome

    Impeaching the President seems like a really bad idea.  For starters, the Vice President then takes on the role and responsibilities of President.  You do know that person is Mike Pence. A man who cannot be near another woman alone because he thinks dirty thoughts I imagine.  Dude, it’s normal. All middle school boys have…

  • The Pleasing Presidents

    What’s difficult about being on the spectrum is that sometimes you don’t realize that there was a game being played.  You go on in everyday life, which is hard enough, and don’t realize that all around you a game is being played. It’s like you are a fish in an aquarium watching the world walk…
