Why does the earth rotate?
Did you know that Venus rotates in the opposite direction? How could that be?

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.
Self Righteous Idiots
Just Three
Find myself applauding Tulsi Gabbard more and more, and she’s a Democrat! There are three politicians I like — her, Rand Paul, and Nikki Haley. I think Nikki is going to be the first female president. She’s already running for the 2024 election.
Sugar High
Picked up a 20 oz. bottle of Pepsi that was lying on the ground, and read the ingredients. It has 69 grams of sugar!! Why aren’t these companies being sued for selling drinks to the public that endanger public health — would be my question. 69 grams of sugar equals 17 teaspoons in just 20 oz. of liquid. Almost a teaspoon for every ounce.
Parents
Happy the parents who die before their children.
Philosophy
Disdain the past and the future. Neither is real.
Illegal Aliens
Some people put the estimate of the number of illegal aliens in the US at 20 million. Think about that — 20 million people who are here in the US who have never been vetted, and so we have no idea about their politics or to what extent they are law abiding. This in an age of terrorism and gang culture. Crazy.
Unholy Alliance
Unholy alliance for open borders between the Democrats who want the Hispanic/immigrant vote and corporations that want cheap labor.
Curious to see how “progressive” Democrats square open borders with their supposed support for American labor, as open borders leads to competition for jobs between illegal immigrants and American citizens, and guess which is willing to work for less.
Genetic Engineering
The documentary “Unnatural Selection” on Netflix — fascinating…just fascinating.
