Monday, January 4, 2010. Why I Haven't Bought Into the Global Warming Theory. Sometimes I joke about global warming, especially on frigid days like today. And I'm sure my friends who agree that the earth is warming find my jokes to be uneducated and insincere. In a sense, they are right about my arguments being uneducated, and that is at the heart of my objection to the theory. About the time I was first hearing about global warming, Al Gore was saying that the debate was over. Huh? Are the proposed chan...

Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Straw Men Are Easy to Burn. I'd like to start a running post of straw man. Arguments and other fallacies made by the proponents of universal health care. If you catch any, please send them along. I'll add them to the list and credit you. If you think I've misidentified a fallacy, let me know that as well. For those of you who aren't familiar with the. Fallacy, here is a quick definition:. Why are the Democrats not discussing the actually language of the bill before us? Can eld...

Sunday, August 23, 2009. Why are pundits and politicians still debating the reasons for the President’s failure to sell his healthcare plan? They have all sorts of opinions:. He misjudged the people’s estimation of the current healthcare system; he wrongfully construed his popularity as a mandate for a massive overhaul of the system; the Republican party is organizing to destroy the President. But no one is stating the obvious. People get angry for three main reasons:. Well, President Obama mocked them.

Sunday, September 6, 2009. Lessons from the Van Jones Resignation. It strikes me that we all have something to learn from the events that led to Van Jones' resignation. In the heat of our passions, we must exercise great discretion in the words we choose. Our words, for better or worse, will come back to haunt us.

Friday, October 9, 2009. Wishes are horses. All you have to do is give a few speeches saying you want. Peace, and you will ride like a king. You don't actually have to do.

Wednesday, July 7, 2010. The Worth of a Garden. As I drove home from the garden this morning, I thought I’d write about the different ways gardening benefits me. I’m not sure if my garden has yet been financially profitable, and I guess it hasn’t mattered enough to me to bother keeping track. There are so many ways to profit. Here are a few, in no particular order. Sun: It has been much in the news these past couple of years that many Americans are not getting enough sun. My time in the garden ensure...
