Rescuing vs. Being an Ally: Some Tangents

A couple of days ago, I blogged about Kyle Payne and male feminists. One of my main points was that, by poking around and reading some of Payne's writing, I felt that it was not surprising that someone who wrote that way would turn out to be an abusive individual. When someone becomes an ally of a...

Soaring oil prices are just the first step in our march to the collapse of the infrastructure, the grid, and our flickering way of life, according to today's news. We're sicker and nastier than ever, according to all of the...

Do you know what teens are up to?

Having taken in one of my son's friends, my eyes have been opened to what life is like on the streets for teens (and for some who aren't on the streets). Keep in mind that I'm talking about teens anywhere from 14 to 18. Some of these kids live at the teen shelter because their parents kicked them...

should we put unbelievers to the sword?

On Judgement Day our attempts to be religious will testify against us. They'll seek to gobble us up; so we need to defang them in this lifetime. A holy book may tell believers to compel unbelievers to believe, and to kill them if they refuse to believe. Notwithstanding the the fact that you can't...

What Kind Of World Do We Have Really?

People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession to their character. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, American philosopher and poet (1803-1882) Think about it. That person who is so negative about the world, isn't he also a pessimist about his own future and his place in the world?...

Bereft, The Hulk, and Other Things

I apologize for neglecting this blog. Our friend, mentioned in the last couple of posts, died early Friday morning and I've been spending a lot of time with her family, especially her 14-year-old granddaughter.

Random Thought

Tuesday Nights’: Something to think about

While in class tonight, we were talking about violence against women, and one of my classmates brought up the fact that since the economy has taken a downturn, they’ve been noticing crime increasing. I have too. Lately you can’t turn on the news without hearing about who’s robbing who, who...

These are the start of the best days of my life

I left my husband in May. I finally found the courage in my heart to call the police and honestly I did not do it for me, I could handle the fights. It was the screech of my 11 year old as he watched his daddy push his Mommy to the floor once again. I think that made me realize that I had to stop...

Biblical violence

I've made a couple of posts about religion before, and if you read them you'll know that I really don't have much faith (ha!) in people who insist that following their imaginary friend is the only true way to live, or in fact that their imaginary friend actually exists in the first place. Most of...
