Thinking With Al: November 2014
http://thinkingwithal.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Friday, November 28, 2014. More on Getting Buy In. Think with me for a moment about business practices and labor practices. Implied, and even stated, are certain contractual exzpectations. A business will not cheat, will not lie, and will deliver what it promises on time and for the price set. A laborer or labor union will do the job competently, on time, and for the wages agreed to.

Thinking With Al: A Book or Two Worth Your Time - 2
http://thinkingwithal.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-book-or-two-worth-your-time-2.html
Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Friday, February 27, 2015. A Book or Two Worth Your Time - 2. Jonas Jonasson grabbed me with the book "The 100-year Old Man Who Climbed Out A Window and Disappeared." Never slow, never fast, but alway with an undercurrent of gut-busting humor, Jonasson wrote a story and both captivates and demands putting it down. Why put it down? What do you think?

Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Monday, October 27, 2014. The New Dark Ages. Are we entering, or have we entered, the New Dark Ages? What might happen if our first. Response to tough issues was, "How can we work this out? Oh, that sounds like a liberal thought. How unpatriotic, or unChristian, or anti-Muslim or whatever! Think with me on this topic, and think about these questions for yourself. Links to this post.

Thinking With Al: December 2014

Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Sunday, December 21, 2014. Still More on Getting Buy In. How do adults who have bought into the "social contract" that keeps our world going in a relatively peaceful, productive way, engage people in their teens and help them "buy in" to, and agree to, the social contract? Many teenagers don't think their world is. What do you think? Leave your comment and let us know. Links to this post.

Thinking With Al: January 2015
http://thinkingwithal.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Saturday, January 17, 2015. I am writing on January 7, 2015. A French satirical magazine has been terrorized by gunmen, twelve are dead, and the news commentators are using the phrase “increased radicalization” about militant Muslims in France. Radical. Stupid. Hate-filled. And we ask, "Why doesn't God strike these people dead? What do you think? Leave a comment and let us know. Al Lusti...

Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Monday, February 23, 2015. I hear and read the phrase, "meant to be". f or instance:. 8220;Our love was meant to be.". 8220;God spared me from the disaster in which 82 other people died. It was meant to be. I have something yet to do in this world.". 8220;She was meant to be a Christian from before the beginning of time. She’s so perfect at it! What do you think? A Book or Two Worth Your...

Thinking With Al: Ambiguity
http://thinkingwithal.blogspot.com/2015/02/ambiguity.html
Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Monday, February 23, 2015. I find an ambiguity in the words that are put into my mouth in songs, liturgies, patriotic expressions, enlistment oaths and life affirmations. You know what I am talking about, probably. I did that when I joined a fraternity. A year and a half later I realized that I was never, never going to even want to admit I was a member of that organization. I tr...We wa...

Thinking With Al: April 2014
http://thinkingwithal.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Friday, April 25, 2014. My friend is thinking about blogging. I am not sure why, exactly. But it has me thinking. What might the value of blogging be? I have four blogs going on a now and then basis. If you check the links on this page you can send your browser to any of them. I invite you to do so. But. . . what do I get out of blogging? What would my friend get out of blogging? Al Lust...

Thinking With Al: July 2015
http://thinkingwithal.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thinking about thinking. Thinking about issues. Thinking about possibilities. Thinking about what others are thinking. Monday, July 27, 2015. I apologize for being absent for so long. My torn rotator cuff made sitting at a keyboard very painful, and even using a mouse required my left hand. Physical therapy is making a difference in a positive way. I don't want to go backwards. . . There is an attraction to "the old days" when you live in homes with indoor plumbing, hot showers, and Internet access. ...
