All life isn’t precious. Maybe a more accurate statement is that all lives aren’t equally precious. Don’t get mad at me. I came to that conclusion by watching you. I’ll explain. The argument is that we should all wear masks and social distance because we need to prevent the spread
They say that art imitates life, but the reverse is also true. On September 11th, 2001 I was in Seattle. The south tower had just collapsed when I turned on the TV in the hotel room. As I watched the video of the planes crashing into the towers, I immediately
In the early 90’s I was working at the South Florida branch of a large telecommunications company. One day, the HR people were seen walking around looking at everyone’s offices and cubes and taking notes. When they reached the cube of a good friend of mine, they pointed to a
Man, oh man! There are so many thing to talk about with this whole Goodyear thing that I could easily write a hundred pages. Instead, I’m going to unpack it a bit and spread it across several days. Here’s the first: In case you missed it (though it’s hard to

Until today, I believed that George Floyd was killed by a racist cop. I saw a video out of context and, like everyone else, bought the narrative that a racist cop killed him. Shame on me. Today, I watched the body cam videos that paint an entirely different story. The
There’s a term I really like. That term is “useful idiot”. According to Webster, a useful idiot is a naïve person who can be manipulated or exploited to advance a cause or political agenda. In the 1957 book “Planned Chaos”, the author writes that the term “useful innocents” was used
I understand that people have the right to protest. The first amendment to the Constitution guarantees “the right of the people to peaceably assemble”. That’s pretty clear. I’ve heard people say that the looting, rioting and mayhem being perpetrated by the BLM protesters is a valid form of protest. Their
