I believe in experiments
I believe the minimum age to run for president should be fifty. In some wise cultures, a person isn’t considered an “adult” until the age of sixty five, or whatever their term for “adult” was that we have no concept of. These cultures also had many more appreciated degrees of maturing than our present hierarchy of beautiful infant, terrible twos, teenager, adult,...
basic stuff
Would you rather spin a big wheel with all your religious and social beliefs on it, and hope it lands on yours; or would you rather have the right to choose? There is one little catch : If you choose to have the right to choose, then you can’t be pissed off at what other people decide to choose, or are mandated by their genetic encoding to choose. Let me give the wheel a spin...
The constitution makes no one mad.
The majority of America’s founding fathers were Christians. They had to work very hard to try to keep their religious beliefs out of the conversation when forming this country. They knew it was imperative to have FREEDOM as the central core for a world they wanted to live in. They knowingly made the sacrifice that their religion may not always be the controlling majority, for the sake of...
time machine escape car
I believe you should not do heroine. I haven’t ever done it. I feel lucky that I’ve never done it, not proud that I made the moral choice not to do it, but lucky that I wasn’t exposed to it, because I probably would have done it because of who I didn’t choose to be. The movies make it look real bad. I have a high credibility value assigned to the movies I have seen on this...
unoffendableitis
What is this condition I have in which I seem quite UNOFFENDABLE. I can’t imagine any written word that would make me mad. Of course aside from someone making threats to me or my kids. Besides that, I can’t imagine anything anyone could ever post on a public forum that would truly make me mad. Is this normal? Is my brain missing a part? I think it would be funny if I became a serial...
My prayer
Dear God,
Please do me this one big favor. Well, it’s not just for me, it’s for the whole world. If you do this one thing, I’ll never ask another favor, neither will the rest of the world. Please, oh please, destroy every religion on the planet. Okay, okay, I know that sounds like a big request, and it is, to be sure. But, c’mon man, this fucking sucks, dude....
aww, nature
I saw a young couple walking by my office, and the guy reached back and slapped the crap out of the girl. I went back inside, got my varmint rifle, propped the door open just enough to get his skull in my crosshairs…. and then remembered that humans shouldn’t interfere with nature, so I let him keep slapping the shit out of her.

yay, religion!
If two tribes of monkeys live near each other, and one tribe likes to murder, and the other tribe does not, guess what. Natural selection has no mercy. Murder trumps core values, intelligence and grace. If you are not prepared to kill, then you should prepare for death. For it is with most certainty a tribe of murderous monkeys will attack eventually.
Imagine a world where the only religion is...
