About That Blank Check

A topical favorite of religious people, particularly conservative Christians, is so-called 'sexual immorality'. What is that exactly? To the rational mind, that would mean sexual-related activity which (so long as all participants are willing, consenting adults) results in harm to another person, or creature.

A system creates shame and then creates a means of absolving the shamed of their shame, provided they adhere to the rules of those who run the system. Convenient.

Give America Hope Again - A Few Thoughts On The 2020 US Election


The years 2016 to 2020 will surely go down in history as the period during which the USA was forced to see itself in the mirror without makeup for the first time... when they realized that there are and always have been more than one "America"... as it is perceived by different kinds of Americans... victims, champions, bystanders - and perpetrators... a period of internal schism, self-examination, blame, denial, anger, sorrow, revulsion, self-recrimination, introspection and reckoning.

Make Earth Greta Again!

Greta Thunberg. Her very name seems to bring chills to both boomers and conservatives alike, doesn't it?

That, and as far as I can tell, stupid people.

People too limited in their intellect to realize what an awful mess we're really in - and slipping deeper into day by day... a mess created by previous generations - but mostly one in particular, who grew up in a post WW2 world of hope and plenty, and indulged - and bulged in excess of everything.

That's the trouble with a consumerist mindset - sooner or later there's nothing left to consume.

Galaxii – An Unintended History of The Present?

Looking back, it doesn't seem all that long ago that I first started writing my Galaxii scifi series. As it turns out, that was back in 1991 - my final year of high school - when I first started writing the backstory of Galaxii. It was futuristic, it was distantly post-apocalyptic, that is, it was set about a century after a devastating war... World War 3... The Big Nuke.

The year of that war? 2020.

Waiter, There's A Bigot In My Soup!

Don't you just hate it when you find a bigot in your soup? Eeeeuw! Gross!

This is exactly what happens to John Q. Public one day as he sits down to enjoy a fresh bowl of soup at his favorite restaurant! He puts his hand up to complain, but unfortunately the waiter doesn't believe him - and as his protests increase, so does the intensity of the waiter's denials!

What will happen to John? Will he get fresh soup - fresh soup without a bigot in it?

America's Shame Before The World!


I can't understand how a majority of Americans - supposedly the most forward-thinking people on the planet - could vote "Trump".

It's mind-blowingly disappointing. It's awful. Simply awful. 
 
This is a dark day for human rights, not just in America, but everywhere. Considering the orange monkey's appalling campaign promises, there will be human rights violations and civil rights losses in abundance as Trump faces pressure from his rabid supporters to live up to his election promises - build the wall, strip LGBT rights, enact racist laws, deport all immigrants, hack the constitution, make Christianity a state religion.
