On Somalian Famine

My Confession

Dear Friends, It seems to me that there can be an effective ad homonym attack made on me and my motives in writing my blogs. The assault could be that I stand to gain materially if the ideas that I … Continue reading →

Romantically Involved with Revolution

Posted on March 24, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that we all romanticize that which we know nothing of. Those that know nothing of war romanticize it and think they would emerge strong and heroic from one if they were involved. But whenever … Continue reading →

NUMA

Posted on February 17, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that history, and the present, show us that the Elite in all societies need to be policed. Perhaps the societal upheavals we are witnessing lately could have been avoided, or maybe even stopped, by … Continue reading →

Revolution and It’s Natural Outcomes

Posted on January 31, 2011 by john

International Competition for Jobs

Posted on January 23, 2011 by john

Legislation and Legislators

Posted on October 28, 2010 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that writing legislation is like building a house. Most legislation is never pointed at any particular thing. Take the drug policies of most nations. They are targeted at some nebulous idea of eradicating drug … Continue reading →

Foundational Wisdom and the Right Constitution of Government

Posted on October 7, 2010 by john

We Judge Others By Ourselves

Posted on June 17, 2010 by john

Catastrophic Desisions

Posted on May 20, 2010 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that government’s propensity to normalize deviancy threatens us all. Due to Government’s ability to deliver catastrophe on a society. Normative deviancy is a sociological term that describes why some groups make catastrophically wrong decisions. … Continue reading →
