The New Khmer Rouge
The clothing that we wear and the music that we listen to are not chosen by us. They are chosen for us by the opinion makers. This is the way that humanity works. I don’t like it, but it is what it is. As a society becomes more authoritarian, less freedom is permitted by the…

The Play of Lies
I want you to think of everything you hear in the media as a series of conversations in a long standing play. When I say that the media lies I’m not talking about a one time lie but a carefully crafted play of prevarications that lasts decades if not a century or more. When the…

I was a Fool
I was a fool. I was deluded into believing that I could publish my own book and make it into a bestseller. I was wrong. When personal computers came into being in the early 1980s, many of us, including myself, were introduced to the world of self-publishing. It was going to be a bold new…

Lipstick and Immortality
A few weeks ago a friend of mine on Facebook was lamenting the fact that people would gladly throw down a hundred bucks to Kylie Jenner, someone they hardly knew, for cosmetics, but wouldn’t pay out twenty bucks to support a friend, that they did know well, in their local business. Of course. It makes…

The Evil Empire
When I was young I believed Ronald Reagan when he called Russia the Evil Empire. I was pretty certain that he was right and that I was right. I would let anybody who either wanted to know or didn’t want to know what I thought about the Soviet Union. People still talk about Russia being…

Why Can’t America Fix Itself
Why is it increasingly not possible for America to correct itself? It is less possible because we have increasingly shifted our method of receiving information from the written word to the spoken word. We read less and watch more. It’s a slow process that has taken place over the past 100 years. The spoken word…

Lost Advice
Why don’t you the average American know the truth? Have you ever wondered why? There are plenty of people who can tell you how to manage any number of affairs in any area of endeavor. Knowledgeable people are ready and willing to tell you how to get out of any problem that exists. They’ve been…

Rush Limbaugh
What do I think of Rush Limbaugh? I listened to Rush Limbaugh for a long time, not regularly though. I listened to him more so in his early days. But then I stopped listening. I remember him best from the 1990s when he had his television show. He would open the show by saying: America…

See Ya
Let’s restrict advertising in the United States. Why not? Why should we have our minds polluted on a daily basis by messaging that comes from the likes of Edward Bernays? Why should we have our minds subliminally influenced? Isn’t that a violation of the fourth amendment which speaks of unreasonable search and seizure. Yes, I…
