To create substantive political change which goes beyond symbolic action, young people and their supporters who want to stop the country’s epidemic of gun violence need to create an organizational infrastructure. Then they need to gather the vast financial resources necessary to counter the death grip the NRA has on Umerkin “democracy.” But because Umerka […]
When it comes to our understanding of ‘God’ it doesn’t matter what you believe, as long as you strive to do the right thing every day and appreciate all life. We use the label ‘God’ for lack of a better word to explain this concept, because that’s what people can relate to. Most people believe […]
Human civilization is around 10,000 years old – which is statistically insignificant in the cosmic timeline. The evidence (and logic) suggests that any civilization capable of traveling through the universe and visiting other planets is far older and more technologically advanced than we are. Recent scientific discoveries have shown that there are potentially billions of […]
Umerkins have an unhealthy love of weapons of mass destruction, violent movies and video games. Umerkins love the internet so they can access and participate in just about any dark underbelly of human behavior. Throw in Big Pharma and their made-up diseases, mental illnesses and parents who think that keeping a gun case in the […]
“Alexa, I’m a moron.” Amazon acknowledged this week that some of its Alexa-enabled devices have developed a new skill: creeping out their owners with unwarranted bursts of robotic laughter.

Public schools in Florida will soon be required by law to post the state’s motto – “In God We Trust” – on all public buildings and campuses where students and staff can see them. The House voted on the legislation 97 to 10, with members standing and applauding the results – after somehow also finding […]
And while we’re on the subject of hypocrisy, tRump has been saying since 2016 that he wanted to abolish gun-free zones. At a campaign stop in Virginia in January of that year he claimed, “I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and — you have to — and on military bases.” To scattered […]
[This is highly relevant today…] The ‘steel crisis’ of 1962 was a very public showdown between President John F. Kennedy, U.S. Steel and seven other major steel manufacturers over their blatant violation of an agreement which he had personally negotiated between U.S. Steel and the United Steel Workers’ Union. JFK was concerned about rising inflation. […]
The irrational love of guns is a mental illness. If we’re really serious about caring for the mentally ill in this country, then we need to help those who need it most: GUNHUMPERS.
