What defines a liar?
Old joke: How can you tell if a politician is lying? Answer: His/her lips are moving. With the advent of the five year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I'm finding myself trying to sort out the mixed bag of information available to us regarding who knew what, when they knew it, and what have the...

The Vanishing American Dream
The few of you who have followed my weak attempt to log my insights already know I am a simple, blue collar worker who occasionally voices a thought or two. Today I have no choice but to do exactly that. A revalation struck me today. I am stuck here in east Los Angeles, and as God and the service...

Watching America from a sideline
This week I'm back in Canada. Calgary, Alberta to be specific, and as is always the case when I'm out of the country, I'm getting a better perspective on the actions of the US. Even the Canadians, (who have been infinitely patient with us), are getting truly sick of George and Company's rhetoric,...

Back from the wild.
Hello to all! It's been quite a while since we had chance to chat, and wow! has the world gone nuts or what. The GOP is beginning to realize the George is out of control. Mother Earth is telling us it's time to stop crapping in the nest, and the Middle East is ratcheting up the pressure to get a...

Did you see the news today?
Did you see what the Supreme Court decided today? The police can knock your front door into the dust if they have a warrant and they don't have to tell you about it. They don't have to knock, they don't have to say "Hey Mr. John Doe we have a warrant for your arrest!" They don't have to say a bloody...

Huh? So Batwoman is a lesbian?
DC Comics has announced that the new Batwoman character is a lesbian. Oh how the Christian right are going to howl! Pat Robertson will be telling us some time next week that God has told him to burn all the forests from which the paper DC Comics are printed on is drawn. (That is of course if he...

Religion versus Spirituality
Religion seems to be a belligerent system of beliefs that requires an outside source to determine its dogma and run its propaganda machine. Spirituality seems to be a quiet understanding that there are greater forces in the universe that may be able to teach you something valuable. "Religion is for...

The Power of the Dog
I had a nice chat with my wife this evening, she's feeling better, (she's been battling a case of the flu), and our last shipment of bulbs arrived from the Netherlands today. When I get back home this Friday or Saturday you'll be able to find me out in the garden getting them into the soil, and on...

Chatting with the neighbors
This week finds me in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It's my first visit here to this city, and I'm sorry to report I really haven't had time yet to explore it. But let me say this about Edmonton, the few folks I have met so far are really nice people. The company I'm working with this week is really on...
