Hubris Leads To Destruction

Posted on November 21, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems the acme of hubris to me, for someone to think they should take over that which they could never have created. We see this in armed robbery, hostile takeovers, and nationalizations. When someone who was unable … Continue reading →

Limericks

Posted on November 18, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, There’s one sure truth about “the Revolution.”It ushers in violence upheaval and diminution,A menacing mess,A red stained dress,And sanity is a counterrevolutionary solution. When government is an ivory tower,Then human relations begin to sour,The arrogant few,But what’s new,The … Continue reading →

How the Administrative State Is Fueling Public Anger in the West

Posted on November 16, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the longer a person or people hold anger in, the greater the explosion when it emerges. People aren’t sane when they are angry. Neither you nor I are rational when in a state of … Continue reading →

Minions Make The Executive

Posted on November 12, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, no matter how great an executive is, if he is surrounded by half-wits, clingers, and traitors… he will fail, and fail miserably. This will happen no matter how hard-working, adept, or patriotic he may … Continue reading →

Defining An Evil Faction

Posted on November 5, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems absurd to me to expect a faction that’s tyrannically violent, believes itself our betters, holds itself above the law, and even civility itself… will deliver anything but poverty, crime, and despotism once in power. It’s like … Continue reading →

Double Standards Destabilize

Posted on November 2, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the extraordinary double standard we accept without a thought is destabilizing our society. Apparently, members of Trump’s cabinet have to live on military bases because of the overt threats and attempts on their lives. … Continue reading →

More Laws

Posted on October 26, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the more laws, the greater the imbalance of power between the people and the elites. Even as fewer laws lower that imbalance. Once the imbalance crosses an invisible line, we call it “despotism” or … Continue reading →

On Trusting The Untrustworthy

Posted on October 24, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, in personal as well as international relations, it’s best not to sign agreements you know the other side won’t live up to. If you’re selling someone a car on credit, and they clearly have … Continue reading →

Conspiracy Theorist

Posted on October 22, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, calling someone a “Conspiracy Theorist,” is the fallacy of dismissal by slander. This is a form of ad hominem attack. People use such fallacies when they can’t refute an argument and don’t want to … Continue reading →

The Unethical Faction

Posted on October 12, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a faction that wants to get rid of all limits to power, like a constitution, can exploit that constitution to be a tool of its own destruction. This is because would be despots won’t … Continue reading →
