Enemies of Progress

Who are the greatest enemies of Progress and personal enrichment? Those who teach people to become content with less. Religious leaders and ideologies that look after peoples emotional welfare instead of their cravings for consumer goods. Ecologically aware groups that have the welfare of Greater...

History of Religion etc

After doing a cursory survey of the History of Religion over the past 3 decades I'm now almost convinced that my own ancestors either hid references to themselves so well that they couldn't even find it themselves or that they never actually existed. I am also almost convinced that I came about... Sign in to see full entry.

Something to Ponder in Politics

In my Country (South Africa) a man and his friends were labeled as terrorists and jailed for 27 years for treason. He eventually became, not only the President of South Africa, but achieved the status of "saint and savior" on a global scale. I'm of coarse referring to Nelson Mandela. In various...

American Politics and the Stars

Being a non-American I don't really care that much who wins the "throne" of Lamerica (a Kingdom divided and on the brink of bankruptcy) but I still find it interesting to read about the schemes and adventuring of the demi-gods.

I'm not realy one for lovesongs

but one that keeps on coming back to me at od times (no need to mention the accompanying memories) has come to me again today. I love the interplay of voices and the words are so simple and direct that it makes them profound when you are in love. At the time I first heard it I was in love and it...

Blogit and other relationships

Because of the scale of the hide and seek games people play on the net I am always a bit weary to open too much to people I have never met in person. It is one thing to open up your heart in a blog that anybody can read, but it gets very tricky when doing so in more direct correspondence. For... Sign in to see full entry.

Clever vs Wise

Although I wouldn't mind being perceived as clever and wise I haven't found the grounds to claim these two attributes but that doesn't prevent me from having an opinion on the matter. A clever person is a someone who can remember a lot of word associations and can manipulate them to influence the... Sign in to see full entry.
