He developed an outline for his autobiography but this is the only chapter he wrote, and it is just a rough draft. Back to square one. When ...

A Different Point Of View. The Voice of a Philosophical Minority. August 28, 2009 in Uncategorized. Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though;. He will not see me stopping here. To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer. To stop without a farmhouse near. Between the woods and frozen lake.

From the beginning, and especially more recently while breaking the recent news to friends, I’ve heard the same question repeated over and over. At first I didn’t really know how to answer, but then I thought harder about what I can make out of this situation. 8220;Is there anything I can do for you? 8220;If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what...

A Different Point Of View. The Voice of a Philosophical Minority. Why Repealing Health Care is the Wrong Choice, No Matter What You Believe. January 19, 2011 in Uncategorized. There I said it. And it’s something that’s been bugging me for a long time. Our insurance system is broken. People like myself, who have pre-existing conditions, will be unable to find insurance (except at the expense of bankruptcy) as soon as we leave our parents’ coverage. Does anyone care what happens to us? Case in point –...

A Different Point Of View. The Voice of a Philosophical Minority. A Waste of My Time. July 7, 2009 in Uncategorized. I feel that, while the government is considering regulating the insurance industry (and seems to already have done so for the banking sector), another industry ought to be regulated as well. And that industry would be the film industry. 8221; Unfortunately, “Mall Cop” falls into the latter category. The story follows an overweight, hypoglycemic single father named Paul Blart.

Death Panel Hypocrisy | A Different Point Of View
https://kballantine.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/death-panel-hypocrisy
A Different Point Of View. The Voice of a Philosophical Minority. November 18, 2010 in Uncategorized. Today, I find myself sad to be called an American. And because of that blatant misinformation, and facing a $1.5 billion dollar deficit, the legislature decided that part of a possible solution would be to cut funding to some state-funded lung, heart, liver, and stem cell transplants. We’re now sentencing people to death because the state can’t balance its budget? Yes, yes it is. Gregbodenlos on Chapter 1.
