We’ve been coasting in this country pretty much since the end of WWII….coasting in terms of we had this identity of the good guys, and we had prosperity and innovation and the space program kicked everything into high gear so that we were suddenly like on speed with technology and we got a little...

VENT ON POLITICS FROM THE STEW POT...PART 1
I find it interesting that when I watch shows like The View and listen to people like Joy Behar rant on and on about something one of the GOP candidates said, she sneers out the words, ‘Republicans’ and ‘Conservatives’ interchangeably, and also generally uses a very wide paintbrush of implication as...

DON'T TREAD ON ME
I just read Naut’s recent post that included the Muslim TV host’s rather simple to understand statement/display of the brainwashing Muslim’s receive from birth, so that their entire view of the world is as described. The exceptions must be those who, through education or some individual inspiration,... Sign in to see full entry.

FINISHING UP MY THOUGHTS ON COMMUNICATION
I really did blow it with my post yesterday because, as Taps noted, it really should have been two separate posts. I started out with the intention of talking about how slippery it is to try to use statistics in discussing something like the whole uproar about guns....this due to a fellow writer's...

SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND...
Some may remember when I talked about our individual paradigms being like a pair of glasses we wear to look at the world through…and our individual prescriptions vary depending on our upbringing – mainly that up to the age of ten according to psychiatrists – but impacted by experiences and...

SCRAPS FROM THE SIMMERING THOUGHTS POT
Always in the stew in the simmering pot that is on the back burner in my mind is a level of consternation…..I’ve finally decided that is the best word….about what is happening in America. I mean, I keep news on my TV most of the day…and I keep two TV’s on, and I switch the channels around so that I... Sign in to see full entry.

JUST THINKING ABOUT GUNS...
I keep news on most of the day....switching back and forth between CNN and FOX and then I watch PBS Evening News....I also watch "The View" and "The Talk" and I've recently discovered "Access Hollywood" - I watch these three shows to keep up with current cultural news. I trust very little... Sign in to see full entry.

POLITICS...NOTHING IS AS USUAL, WITH THE ELECTORATE FOR A CHANGE!
I was watching a little bit of the VMA’s last night……and Kanye West announced that he is going to run for President in 2020. Of course, he had also already confirmed that he was stoned…..and been rambling along about how he didn’t understand award shows for over ten minutes at the time. He had also...

THINKING ON NAUT'S POST ABOUT MULTICULTURALISM...
Here’s something I’m thinking about after reading Naut’s recent post about multiculturalism…..I mean, I’m from Texas and have been living with folks who don’t speak English, or admit they do, for decades…but it was only in the last couple that the whole state, and not only the areas with large...

TAPESTRY TALES
TAPS just asked if the ‘ …..’ at the end of a post meant there was more I was going to tell; and the answer is yes. That got me thinking about how it may seem even more than my normal ADD at work, the way I keep bouncing around with different posts about the various relationships in my past. I’ve...
