[January 22, 2023] The United States must tell Vladimir Putin that he will not win this war, that we will ensure that happens, and that we will assist Russia in their withdrawal. Anything else from the West means we are now responsible for the death of tens of thousands of more soldiers and civilians. [January 17, 2023] What… Read More »
[January 15, 2023] The short answer is, no, we are not happy. However, I’m not so sure being happy is the correct marker for a good life. We have a complex society, and we are not sure how our future will develop or if what we knew in the past will be sufficient for us to move forward… Read More »
[January 14, 2023] Yesterday, I wrote about Professor Mark J. Perry (link here) and labeled him a hero for his work fighting against sex and race discrimination in our colleges and universities. And now, today, I want to address a man who has influenced my writing. His name is psychologist, Dr. Jordan Peterson. He is being accused of… Read More »
[January 13, 2023] Heroes are those who risk everything for the well-being of others. From the time humans first walked the Earth, stories of heroes have flourished. Professor Mark J.

[January 8, 2023] My daughter’s 3rd-grade teacher invited me to attend a class and listen to how she taught about 20 students. Thinking back many years, I thought about my time as a nine-year-old with Mrs. Odom’s 3rd-grade class and how I got into trouble for talking out of turn, and I was bored like so many of… Read More »
[January 7, 2023] You need a routine. All animals need routines. If you have a dog, you already know that it likes to walk several times a day and eat a couple of times, all about the same time each day. If they don’t get this, they will actually get sick. And this is no trivial matter because… Read More »
[January 6, 2023] We have a moral obligation to encourage our children to go out into the world and to be exposed to the catastrophes, pain, and suffering they will inevitably undergo. Is this not the only way they can be the best they possibly can be? Be the good mother that fails to protect her children, for… Read More »
