Dear Friends, The people in charge misdirect with a fiver,Using all the cunning of a sly MacGyver,It’s someone else fault,If they’re worth their salt,But if the cars in a ditch it was the driver. One side wants freedom the other … Continue reading →

Government Accountability

Human Nature and Civilization

Posted on November 26, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the fatal flaw in all systems of human collaboration is our flawed nature. This applies to political, economic, and social systems. While our flawed nature is destructive of humanity, it’s not our fault that … Continue reading →

Reciprocating Loyalty

Posted on November 23, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, alienating one’s allies while empowering one’s enemies is a sub-optimal strategy for success. The Wormtongues of the world have an uncanny ability to get into the ear. Their verbal poison is as seductive as … 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 →

Dear Friends, Tapping energy we cannot detect,Things from which we cannot protect,Science ala carte,Is not that smart,It’s the acme of the Dunning Kruger Effect. The Scott’s offered friendship and immigration,The guests took that as an engraved invitation,Men are too few,What … Continue reading →
