The Declaration of Independence, created by Thomas Jefferson, is a classic argumentative work. Jefferson makes his point clearly and convincingly, but his argument is more tightly structured and does not utilize the variety of different rhetorical approaches that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr uses in ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’. In that classic work, Dr. King […]
In The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir passionately outlines her philosophy concerning the relationship between men and women. She asserts that women should be acknowledged as “free and autonomous” human beings, in spite of the fact that they have traditionally been forced to assume the role of “the OTHER” – weaker, more emotional, inferior sex.

Joe lives in the year 2060. In 2060, there are two kinds of people in the USA: Vetted Citizens [VC] and Un-Vetted [UV]. Joe is a UV. He is a Starbucks robot repair supervisor. He only owes $8m in back-taxes [see below]. Most of the world’s elite [VCs] have left the planet for their new, […]
I agree with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This hideous budget deal should not be passed. It appears that the Dems couldn’t even wait for default before they caved into all of the GOP’s demands. Sad. If so many republicans are happy about it, it’s CLEARLY a terrible deal. DUH. That’s a dead giveaway we’re fucked. This is […]

Unfortunately for the vast majority of Americans, the primary purpose of the healthcare system in the USA is to make money. Lots of money. This is why it is keen to spread its tentacles outside the US – to drive growth and profit for the shareholders. Your job means everything in the America, and that […]
The Republican Party, at least since Reagan, has not supported any legislation or promoted any regulations which could possibly help the unwashed masses in any way, and they never will again. Their efforts to monetize everything since then and their relentless gutting of policies and regulations protecting our food, water and air have been catastrophic. […]
The Academy Awards is the epitome of this decadent, useless culture. The TV telecast used to clock-in at less than three hours; but in the mid-seventies the show gradually expanded, seemingly unaffected by the plight of viewers on the East Coast and other sentient beings indifferent to the endless banter, the superfluous musical routines and […]
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”-Isaac Asimov Over the decades, […]
