Law Serves The Unreasonable
Dear Friends, It seems to me, villains don’t follow the law, they exploit the law, while patsies follow the law and are exploited by it. Why? Because the law serves the politically favored unreasonable. Even as the politically disfavored reasonable … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Modern logic and demagoguery are wed, Passing off narratives, wisdom is dead, You don’t have to be Plato, To see the effect of Pareto, And the perversion of his curve to race instead. Hey ho the … Continue reading

The Problem Of Power
Dear Friends, It seems to me, the root of all evil isn’t love of money, but of power… because money is power. Power of one over another leads to every crime, atrocity and tyranny in history. The answer then is … Continue reading

Unjust Courts
Dear Friends, It seems to me, as long as people are treated unjustly, and unfairly by the courts, how can any of us expect fair and just treatment? We can’t. A dog understands justice. Unfairly give two dogs out of … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Groupthink is the only way, For a progressive to spend the day, The experts agree, Like a devotee, And in the echo chamber stay. Liars live in a state of constant fear, For the truth may … Continue reading

The Knife In Our Back
Dear Friends, It seems to me, when you seek to stab someone in the back, it is best to get them to focus their attention on something other than you. While the libertarian/conservative movement dwells on policies, their outcomes and … Continue reading

Sophist Rhetoric Spanning Logical Chasms
Dear Friends, It seems to me that the adage, “Government is responsible for the welfare of it’s citizens,” is based on a false premise, that we the people, are incompetent to care for our own welfare. This type of sophist … Continue reading

Dear Friends, In The Republic Socrates put up a fight,On the term justice he did shine a light,Ages go by,And oh my,Turns out Thrasymachus was right. There once was a banking system woke,It fostered ideas that went broke,A reputational risk,A … Continue reading →
