I was enlightened when I was 16. We often repeat a popular sarcastic joke that goes something like, “kids know everything.” We say this because we were all kids and we have all found out just how much we didn’t know. When I say I was enlightened at 16, I don’t mean it in the… Read more »

Donald Trump Doesn’t Like You
I mentioned that I don’t much like Hillary Clinton. She managed to lose the Presidential election to this really useless and rather egotistical fella named Donald Trump. These were our “candidates” for the 2016 Presidential Election. Since Donald’s narrow victory, the citizens of our divided nation have been arguing at some length about how and… Read more »
My Biggest Issue With Hillary Clinton
I don’t like Hillary Clinton. Some of her supporters seem to assume they know why. I can clear up the two more common misconceptions now. First, it is not because of her gender. I actually want to see a woman as President a great deal. Second, it’s is not because of the myriad of conspiracies… Read more »
Bernie Endorsed Hillary
Bernie told us when he entered the race as a Democrat much of what he was and wasn’t going to do. He said that he would not run against the Democratic party. He also said that he would endorse Hillary if she won. I trust Bernie because he has consistently been faithful to his word…. Read more »
The Rise of the Independents
My single biggest personal rebellion has been in being a political independent. Ross Perot’s Presidential run in 1992 inspired much of my generation to question the existing two party political system. At that time, I was too young to vote for Perot. I ended up making a t-shirt and wearing it to school. He earned… Read more »
What Is Government
I was born into a world where my native country seemed to have a troublesome but adequate government. I was given an idea of what a government was through public education. I was never really given reason to be curious about the idea of government. I tend to blame it on the way our education… Read more »
Electing The 99%, an open letter….
Dear 99%, Hi. I’ve been paying attention to Occupy Wall Street. This evening, I had a chat with my girlfriend about the spontaneous eruption of democracy that is Occupy Wall Street. We had an idea I have to share with the rest of the 99% out there. We create a new party where candidates agree to a… Read more »
Solving America’s Illegal Immigrant Problem
And that’s how some people want to approach the issue of illegal immigrants in the USA. Everything I know and understand about life aligns clearly to say that building a wall between the US and Mexico is a horrible idea. It’s not like Mexico is mounting an attack and we have to defend the castle…. Read more »
Stephenf, iPad, and some rationality…
So I see this trending topic going around called, “I need to talk to you about computers.” It didn’t take me long to facepalm. See, Stephenf does a fine job of painting a perspective of technology evolution with a wide scope. He also has a fine point about consumers desiring more specialized and easier to… Read more »
About Texas – From A Native
I’m the only member of my family born in Texas. My parents, sister, and half-brother’s family all still live in Texas. I currently live in Colorado. Recently, governor Rick Perry started a dialog about Texas leaving the union and now NPR is picking it up. I don’t want to get into the issue of Texas… Read more »
