Contrarian opinions, poems, artistic photographs…

Author: Henry Barnard

I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.

Non-Issues

Relative to the entire population of the US, you could fit all the racists and white supremacists on the head of a pin and have room to spare.

Victimization

Democratic Party wants black Americans to embrace being a victim.  Some black Americans aren’t buying that stereotype.

Blues

Feeling kind of blue.  And it is raining outside.  It will pass.  So will the rain.

Sanctuary Cities and States

I don’t understand why the Justice Department doesn’t bring criminal indictments against officials in sanctuary cities and states.  Long overdue.

Assange

Assange booted out of the embassy and arrested.  The state has its way with someone who defied it and would reveal its secrets.  A sad day for liberty and the freedom of the individual imo.

Is there anyone today so naive as to think that the state is just this benign organism looking out for the interests of its people?
