Tribute to a Soldier
There is no greater honor than to serve in the defense of one’s country. The soldier going into combat does so under the assumption that those who are sending them into harm’s way are doing it for the right reason.

Is There Life in Outer Space?
Is there life in outer space? It’s a loaded question. What constitutes life? Organic? Carbon based? Silicon based? Oxygen breathing? Are the laws of physics universal?

A president is the vestigial member of absolutism. Instead of deriving power from providence, a president is delivered power from an equally problematic source; the general will- a philosophical fallacy. Co-existence and absolute independence are incompatible concepts.

Cultural Dementia
Culture suffers a form of dementia which mimics that found amongst humans. What was once known is known no longer. It is a progressive disease that establishes itself unaware by its host.

Welcome to the Jungle
The law of the jungle. Dog eat dog. These expressions are both familiar, and repugnant. They localize something from which we hold ourselves at a distance. We have raised ourselves above the beasts, and pride ourselves in our ability to grasp a universal good.
