Slavery Sucks. All Forms Of Slavery, That Is — Including The “Subtle” Ones…
Slavery has been a thing homo sapiens do (we don’t know if any other human species did it) since we figured out we could force someone else to work for free. Slavery, in its essence, is stolen labor. Yes, it’s a stolen life. But, from the point of view of the enslaver, the goal is…

Our Dirty Secret: We Now Accept A Shitload Of Corruption As “Normal”. Spoiler Alert – BLAME THE MEDIA
Spoiler Alert Redux: BLAME THE MEDIA. They betrayed our trust in them. I bet money had something to do with it… Yeah, yeah — it’s not entirely the media’s fault.

I Grew Up A Child Of The Holocaust
I was born in 1959, 14 years after the Nazi concentration camps were liberated. You might think such an awful memory — so close in our rear view mirror — would have made my community so horrified that they couldn’t bear to discuss it. We went completely in the opposite direction. I wouldn’t say we…

Something About This Kinda Shouts ‘Bullshit!’
My local 99 Cents Only Store was doing some product testing for the still nascent republican health care plan. It’s kinda ‘pay-as-you-go’. You pay, get nothing – that’s how it goes. I wonder what the deductible will be…

What Did YOU Do In The Culture War, Daddy?
There are times — at the beginnings of wars usually — when one side knows a state of war exists while the other side doesn’t. Pearl Harbor comes to mind. On the morning of December 7, 1941, the residents of Hawaii — Pearl Harbor in particular — slept soundly in their beds, unaware that they…
