This month’s top ten discussion topics
The Top Ten change on the first of every month!
The Victim Identity
In reference to the proliferation of senseless and brutal mass murders of innocent people many have offered solutions, all have been largely ignored. As usual, the answer is all of the above, or, in this case, all of the below: One very sensible solution is to...
Elon Musk and Autonomous Transportation
There were over 40,000 traffic fatalities in the United States alone last year. That number will shrink to near zero in the future, because we will no longer be driving ourselves around. We will be passengers in autonomous vehicles. When I write fiction, I often set...
Replacement Theory = Racism
Racism is our worst enemy, world-wide, and Replacement theory rhetoric is racism. Even before Charlie Manson convinced his followers to kill innocent people in a failed attempt to ignite a race war, many have been morally compromised and eaten up with racial hatred....
Abortion
I won’t say abortions are good for society, and I will also not say that unwanted children are bad for society. There are way too many real-life cases that disprove both those mistaken opinions. Unquestionably, children that grow up without effective nurturing and...

We are driving each other crazy! Thousands of examples are available, more every day. These examples I am talking about illustrate racial animus, a person or persons of one race expressing antipathy and displeasure with a person or persons of another. Often these...
The Pueblo Incident
A best friend sent me an excellent example of creative writing recently. Commander Lloyd M. “Pete” Bucher, skipper of USS Pueblo (AGER-2) was forced to sign a “confession” under duress while he and his crew were being held by North Korea. They were subject to...
Two Islands
CP said, "I wish we could do an experiment and send all leftists to an island and then compare the mainland US to it in 100 years." It occurs to me that CP’s suggestion doesn’t conform to the most important scientific conventions namely that there must be only one...
The Way Forward
Two months ago, I posted American Dualism in which I pointed out that all of us here in my great country are seeking the same thing, increased self-determination. As with almost all of my postings, I lamented that we are constantly butting heads about the best way to...
