Freedom isn’t free! Commonly we here this when we discuss the heavy costs incurred by our soldiers serving our country and their respective families. The cost of freedom however extends far beyond this in the grand scheme though.   Each and every one of us as citizens pays a cost for freedom.   We give up safety, we give up stability, we give up ease of life for freedom.   Over the course of this nations existence people have been trading freedom for things like security.   How really though does the currency transfer over.   Freedom is no different than money, we have a finite amount of it and at some point the bank of liberty will run dry.   Using freedom as currency is a major problem.   I don’t believe when our founding fathers discussed taxation without representation, that they were talking about money.   The reality is that back in 1776, money was not what it is today.   Many people got their day to day needs by using trade and bar...

America is at odds with itself.... Today we can all look around and identify about a million things that we either disagree with completely or at least in part. This is mostly due to the mostly new level of connectivity we have with the outside world. Until roughly 25 years ago the world was largely segregated from itself. We lived in small tight knit communities where everyone knew everyone else. This was true even in large cities. It wasn’t uncommon for neighborhood kids to get together every day and play. Parents knew all the other parents in the area and there was always someone looking out for you and your family. Today however things are drastically different. Next door neighbors don’t know each other, much less entire neighborhoods. Cars, planes, and trains are used for more than just vacations. People have moved farther away from their jobs, and we have placed technological connection at a higher value than interpersonal interactions. It pains me to see childre...

Gun confiscation in perspective. Okay so with all the talk going around of gun confiscation I thought it would be good to put everything into perspective and just break it down by the numbers.   Since numbers don’t have emotion, I felt this would be the best way to look at things.   Both side of this argument are very passionate about their beliefs, but just how realistic is gun confiscation. According to the United States census bureau in 2017 America had a population of 325.7 million people. According to a PEW research trust article in June of 2017 30% of Americans own guns.   Of those 66% of gun owners have more than one gun.   Additionally, 36% of the remaining population said that they would consider owning guns.   And 72% of Americans say they have fired a gun. Using these percentages with the population we get the following. ·          97,710,000 gun owners in America o    Assuming those...

So while I was sitting at my desk this morning at 04:30 sorting through all the medial tasks I have to do on top of what I would consider the meat and potatoes of my job, I wondered what it is about me that separates myself from all the others that I work with. Why is it that everyone else goes through the day seemingly buried by all their work? Why does everyone else always pop off as though they are so stressed out? Why is everyone around me constantly being asked if they finished this or that?  What is it that is killing the productivity of this office? For starters, I thought about this while I was once again the only person in the office. That isn’t it though, I’m fully aware that out of everyone here I work pretty much the same amount of hours. So if it isn’t hours worked then what could it be?  As others file into the office, the day begins unfolding just the same as any other Monday. The smell of coffee freshly brewed fills the room. This is followed shortly by polit...

Okay, so I have been looking into a few different things that have been bugging me.   On March 5 th 2018, not 30 minutes from my house some yahoo blew himself up making bombs in his apartment building.   The explosion took place during the daylight thankfully and he was the only one killed.   After police arrived on scene they determined that the materials still present were too dangerous to move the body or attempt to clean them up so they instead detonated the remainder of the materials, and now are going to demolish the rest of the building.   They have to this point still not identified publicly the individual responsible for this explosion.   Now this seems simple enough, some lunatic making bombs killed himself, but what was he using to make the bombs? Why did the bomb squad have to destroy more of the scene to contain it?   Why have they not identified this person? And how have they already said he had no know terrorist links? This happened just...

We have all heard it before, I am just waiting for them to cross that line.  But really, what line? I suppose at some point there will actually be a civil war and that will be the jump off point.  Until then though what has happened. Since about 1958 Hollywood has slowly began to use its influence to persuade me that being masculine is bad. It’s evil. I’ve said before the first noticed attack on the masculinity of our nation was in Rebel without a Cause. The affectionate father never did answer what is to be a man. From this point forward a slow erosion of morals and masculinity has removed the men from our nation. We now have a nation of children raised by women who don’t even know what gender they are. This stage has been completed by the enemy. There can be no men to stand fast if there are no men. We say well there is still ya, but now they just continue to force division and take us toward a brink that will not come in our time. Think of the story of the boiling frog, w...

Okay so this will be the first in a series of social media arguements and conversations that I will be posting here.  I will be calling the series Conversations with Liberals.  stay tuned as this should get interesting. CA an old adage comes to mind when thinking about the gun debate when you give a man a hammer he would look for a nail La father of ca Every man who has a gun doesn't look for some one to shoot. Ca to la yeah only 99 1/2% of them La to ca Then we would all be dead. Ca to la yep just a matter of time Ca to la I can’t understand what possible reasons you could have against passing gun laws that would make everyone safer even gun owners. There is absolutely no earthly justification for a citizen to own an AR-15. Ca to la The hammer/nail analogy can be put another way one does not buy a sports car for puttering around town at some point somewhere you are going to lay that petal to the floor to se how fa...
