An orderly and just society is not only more humane; it supports the general welfare and the prosperity of all its citizens. We must have a moral, ethical and impartial society in order to make this happen. The concentration of political power in the hands of an elite few impairs our ability to adapt policy […]
There is no doubt that misogyny played a role in the U.S. elections. There are only 23 women CEOs out of all the Fortune 500 companies, which is fairly damning evidence of prejudice. Additionally, only one of those 23 women is black – Xerox Chairman and CEO Ursula Burns – and there are only five black […]
A belief in Santa Claus could have a detrimental effect on parent-child relationships. A recent study in the medical journal Lancet Psychiatry suggests that a child’s moral compass could be permanently damaged by what is normally part of the Christmas tradition: lying about Santa Claus.

You had the opportunity to elect the first (admittedly flawed) female president of the United States; You had a misogynist psychopath unworthy of holding public office running for president. WTF? Okay, Bernie Sanders would have won by a landslide but the Dems railroaded […]
This is really it. There is no hope left for this country. Year after year, I voted for HOPE and CHANGE and this is what happens: Outright fascism. Well played, America! I’ve considered this possibility for quite some time, but somehow I never thought the country could sink this low. Rather than a slow, measured […]
