How open (or closed) are the borders of your mind?

Friday, July 29th, 2016

It’s not a good idea to be so open minded — as the saying goes, sorry if it’s trite — that your brain falls out. Nor is being too closed minded a good idea, since it’s often useful to consider new ideas. So, if you’re thoughtful, you probably employ a mental screening process. Does the […]

The endorsement is not necessarily for the policies of Trump, but for ‘the process’ of Trump

Friday, July 29th, 2016

A lonely voice in long-socialist (and thus long-declining) Britain, Sean Gabb is often worth a look. Recently, he steered readers to Ilana Mercer’s latest book, on The Donald:

Thanks.) 🙂 Both Vin and I grew up as east coast liberals, and thankfully we each outgrew […]

With so much dark strangeness dominating the headlines, and people’s thoughts these days, it feels like time for a lighthearted post . . . to take a few moments to remember there’s still much to be grateful for, and beauty in the world if you care to look for it. Back to the somber stuff […]

This should be good outreach to those folks who love animals (maybe even people too) but may not understand how destructive many […]
