I’m currently reading Overthrow: America’s century of regime change from Hawaii to Iraq by Stephen Kinzer. Kay and I bought the book as it promised to address (to some degree) the topic of governmental protectionism of big business. We’re presently about 20% through it and are impressed so far. We also find it troubling. I’ll write more when we’re finished.

Generally speaking, I would like to become a self-funded researcher/writer, working on several topics, including the antiquities, American politics, religion, and human character. My career goal, therefore, is to build enough streams of residual income so as to have the time and cash necessary for said research and writing. Continue reading
I’m currently reading In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood (8th Edition) by Dr. Walter Brown.
Far from being a mere dogmatist, Brown objectively refutes common evolutionary theories for the origins of the earth and of its current geology, not by saying “The Bible says…”, Continue reading
I just finished reading Where Did The Towers Go: The evidence of directed free-energy technology on 9/11 by Dr. Judy Wood.
The book examines 9/11 evidence rarely discussed in the mainstream media, such as:
Kay and I recently finished reading The Real Lincoln: A new look at Abraham Lincoln, his agenda, and an unnecessary war by Thomas DiLorenzo. It was quite an eye-opener. Having grown up quite a fan of Lincoln, I found the book troubling to say the least. DiLorenzo’s work, however, is not hard to defend as a great deal of his expose` rests on Lincoln’s own speeches and documents. Continue reading
As a political experiment, I posted the My Two Dollar Bill Project a couple of years ago. The idea was to see whether a simple poem and mnemonic device (keeping a 2 dollar bill in one’s wallet as a reminder) could “go viral”. Continue reading
Battling over “Left” and “Right” when government is exceeding its lawful limits is like arguing over who gets to sit in the driver’s seat as a car speeds off a cliff. It’s time we came to our senses and put first things first: restoring all governments in the USA to the Rule of Law!
I’ve spent about 9 years developing a political philosophy that (I hope) is immune to the common mantras and rationale of the so-called “two-party system”. Continue reading
NOTE: The first installment of this book is now published as a free online book at www.characternotincluded.com.
I’ve been working for three or four years on a book that I hope to publish online this coming winter. In short, while many are in the habit of blaming “Washington” for our political woes, my argument is that our fundamental issue is the low aggregate character of the American citizenry. That is, we do not, in the aggregate, possess the high character that would be necessary for a people who are the overseers of their own government. Continue reading
I am concerned with the dupability of people in general and one great example of this is how they behave as consumers. Based on my modest research to date, I have no reason to trust most mega corporations to provide products (or even services) that are truly safe and good for the consumer. The Internet is replete with one confirmed story after another of poisons, side effects, malfunctions, adverse effects, product recalls, negligence, and class action lawsuits. From asbestos, to cigarettes, lead in toys, genetically modified foods, and harmful medical treatments—no field of products or services seems to be immune. Continue reading
Could a more extreme opposite be imagined than the substitution of Barney Fife (Don Knotts) for Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) in Snape’s famous scene, “Turn to page three hundred ninety-four” ? I’d pay money to hear a Knotts impersonator give it a whirl! Continue reading
