A Quantum Of Happiness

You can add to my happiness because I already made a choice to be happy, but you can’t take it away. — I used to worry that I might be, “pollyanna”, that I’m trying to see the good in everything. I see the good in a lot of things, but I don’t strain to see the good in everything. …

American Atrophy

What we see now in America is what happens when we fail to make generous investments in the next generation — I remember middle-class 1970s America. We were so optimistic then. And we had it so good, too. We made the best cars, TVs, and we had the best schools. The news was about bussing kids, not about school shootings. Our politics still talked about compromise. Our future was not decided…

Don’t Fire Yourself

Nobody thinks of you the way you do. — Long ago, I was just starting a new job. I was new to customer service and managing support requests. I was new to talking with customers on the phone as a front line employee. I was new to the paperless office. I can recall making what I thought was a…

Hate Is A Complete And Total Surrender Of Personal Power

…to people who can’t or won’t change anyway. — There was a time in my much younger life when I hated one or more persons. I think at one point, it was a sort of searing, visceral hate. There were things that I dreamed about doing to the other person, but could never bring myself to do him or…

The War In Ukraine Is A Manufactured Distraction

Every headline about the war makes me wonder what they’re not telling us. — For weeks I thought it was all just posturing. For weeks, I figured that Biden would work out some sort of diplomatic solution. I could not help but think of every headline about the buildup of troops at the border of Ukraine as a way of making us feel more…

Let’s Clear Up Some of the Confusion About the Stories of Good and Evil

Evil is not an inherent attribute of humanity, but confusion is. — Not long ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu framed the struggle between Israel and Palestine as a battle between “Good” and “Evil”. He didn’t use those exact terms, but we can infer from his choice of words, that he meant to say that the other side was evil. Here are…

It Would be Nice if Israel Would Stop Killing Journalists

Apparently, Israel lacks a gene for freedom of speech. — One of the side stories that isn’t getting much press is this: Israel has an appetite for killing journalists. A trend has come to light since the start of the war in Israel and Palestine. …

If Condemnation Ever Solved Our Problems, There’d be a Line Around the Block

Political discourse is not as simple as condemning someone for their views. — I’m really sick of condemnation politics. Biden condemns Hamas. He condemns Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. American policymakers want other countries to condemn Hamas and Russia. I see people on social media condemning each other for being, “wrong”, “anti-semitic”, a “closet terrorist”, or a “Putin poodle”. I have never…

The Double Standard: America’s Military Might and the Illusion of Free Markets

Think of America’s military as the world’s largest wage and price control freak. — Every time I look at Israel and its war against Hamas or whatever enemy they choose to invent, I see oil. I see Israel as a state that was invented for the purpose of extending America’s military might in pursuit of price controls on oil. I see Israel as a…

Russia’s Unstoppable Momentum: The Force Yet to be Found

Without an educated, skilled, and motivated middle class, it is impossible for America to continue its proxy war with Russia. — From the beginning, a disinterested third-party observer could plainly see that Ukraine wasn’t going to win the war with Russia. They’re not winning now. They’re not going to win. Their counteroffensive ended in spectacular failure. …
