I believe in inherent INEQUALITY. I think there are significant differences in abilities between people, and there will always be.
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.
Impeachment Farce
Impeachment farce comes to its thankful end. You don’t impeach someone who is no longer in office. And what happened at the Capitol was all about a fraudulent election. The people were showing their ire about the fraud. Can you blame them? It would have been shameful had they not demonstrated by invading that building. American elections are supposed to be honest and above board. This one stunk to high heavens — and look what we are left with in the White House.
Silence
It makes sound possible.
Other Worlds
Astronomers believe that, of all the stars one can see in the clear night sky, well over half of them are not one star but 2 or more stars. We see these multiple stars as one star because they are so far away that they blur together or merge in our view of them.
It is also becoming increasingly clear that it is not at all uncommon for any star to have planets and their own solar system circling them, just like our own solar system circles our sun.
While we live in a solar system with only one star, there must be many solar systems that are under the influence and light of multiple stars, given that many seemingly single stars are actually multiple stars.
This raises the interesting idea that the planets in situations where there are multiple stars close together may not experience the day/night cycle that we experience because when these planets rotate they may always be facing sunlight, i.e., there is another paired star on the “nighttime” side.
Just imagine what that means. Such a world would never have our night, so inhabitants would never ever see stars. They would not know of the existence of the stars in the universe, and therefore would not have anything like a true understanding of the real universe. They would live in a bubble, in a world in effect encapsulated by sunlight, never ever able to see beyond that sunlight.
Another impact of not having the experience of ever having a night, that is, of always existing in daylight, is that their sleep/rest cycles would not be modulated, as ours is, by the day/night rhythm. So what would induce the need to rest/sleep in such a world where there was perpetual daylight? Or perhaps our type of sleep, ushered in by the darkness of night, would not exist there as well — the inhabitants of such a world might not experience our type of sleep at all. Our world is modulated by intense activity during daylight hours, followed by sleep/rest during the night, but without a night, their world might be this steady state of low-grade activity all the time, which might eliminate any need for sleep/rest.
Crash
Stock market inching toward the precipice and the inevitable crash from these incredible lofty heights. It is becoming more and more dangerous, not less. Don’t try to squeeze out those last few pennies — they will cost you dearly.
Circus Comes to Town
Impeachment trial against Trump, who has already left office, another example of Congress as circus. Blaming him for a popular demonstration against a fraudulent election means that Congress makes such demonstrations now illegal — i.e., you are not allowed to protest what your government does anymore, no matter how asinine its actions may be. Kind of in line with the new censorship. The new normal is a citizen with his mouth taped shut and his hands in handcuffs behind his back — that’s good citizenship today. The Dems think their impeachment-trial circus is winning them support, but very much the opposite is true because the half of the country that are Trump-supporters are going to react very bitterly to this political theatre and hijinks. So expect the divide of the country to just get wider and more vitriolic because of it.
Looking forward to the day Trump either starts his own social-media platform or joins Gab to start a steady stream of public rebuttals. Really do need a strong voice critical of this new leftist regime in Washington — their ideological policies are so completely lunie. Trump has at least half the country supporting him — probably much more if the election had been at all honest. So he has a “bully pulpit,” even if no longer the prez.
What Is Hate Speech?
Speech that doesn’t agree with their views is hate speech.
Moon Shot?
I think Bitcoin is about to have a moon shot — this very week ahead. Instant wealth. But definitely not for the faint of heart. Do you have the stones for it?
Distorted Reality
It shows you what a distorted reality we are all in when it is thought to be a good thing that the government is giving away “free” money to everyone.
When the sugar high wears off after this latest round of the dole, the reality of our dire economic situation, with persistent high unemployment, will sink in. That’s when the Federal Reserve-induced stock market rally begins to unwind. You won’t want to be in it when that happens. The stock market takes the escalator up but the elevator down, as the saying goes. When there are no buyers and all sellers, you won’t be able to even get into your account to make sell orders.
Lost
We are lost in our happy illusions.
