Monday, August 13, 2012. Progressivism and Civil Society. You know I've never met one person who is for sharing wealth who would ever share a dime. Jane, a commenter at JOM. So, the non sequitur "You're in favor of giving to the poor, so you must support the welfare state vision of progressivism" is not only a powerful tool to confuse muddle who aren't prepared to notice its fallacy but also a weapon wielded against civil society. "Sharing" has nothing to do with it, nor does welfare. Breath of the Beast.

Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Big, unlimited government causes corruption in business and government to thrive. Heavy and byzantine regulation and taxation turn government into a crony-capitalist, fascistic, money-laundering operation. We're all familiar with this. This is the issue. If you're a liberal, you see this issue in terms of the rich being on the take and the poor getting left behind. The choice is small, limited government or big, unlimited government. There is no third way. Big, unlimit...

Monday, October 01, 2012. I know a Zen Buddhist who's car has a bumper sticker which says, "I'd rather be driving." There's one of those well-known Zen ink circles on it (an enso. He operates a zendo. Nice fellow. Prayer is essentially an expression of gratitude that this world exists. (Which is why prayer that asks God for something can't be prayer.) If one prays earnestly and intently, one keeps the mind conscious primarily of this gratitude and maintains a meditative state. Breath of the Beast.

Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Leftism Is The Old Regime. You've been hoodwinked for about 150 years. People who covet absolute power need to trick you into giving it to them, unless they take it from you at gunpoint. The most powerful trick in the book is to make you believe that they will protect you from being subjected to tyranny if you give them power and relinquish your independence and freedom. The new regime is liberty. The Old Regime will not die easily and will even masquerade as the opponent o...

Tuesday, August 13, 2013. Yesterday, I received a letter from a health insurance company. It said that my policy would be cancelled in 2014 because it will not be acceptable under the new federal law. The deductible is too high, you see. As we watch the debacle unfold, let us mull over alternatives. We could do some or all of the following:. 1 Break up the hospital cartels. The feds break up other cartels and monopolies, but why not the hospital cartels? Some Self-Evident Truths A self-evident proposi.

Philosoblog: A Possible Theodicy
http://philosoblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-possible-theodicy.html
Monday, March 04, 2013. By "theodicy" I mean a theory intended to reconcile the fact that there is evil with the existence of God, the argument from evil being one of the most powerful arguments against the existence of God. P1: It is psychologically impossible for any logically possible living being to understand the value of any possible world and feel appropriate gratitude for the existence of that world unless that world is tainted by severe and pervasive evil.

Wednesday, August 14, 2013. A "self-evident" proposition is one that is obviously true to anyone who understands it. These truths are self-evident:. 1 To support a free market does not mean to oppose the regulation of commerce. On the contrary, the concept of a free market without the rule of law hardly makes any sense. 6 It is hypocritical for a wealthy person to maintain his great wealth while advocating equality in property and holding that it is unjust for some to be rich while others are poor. 7 To ...
