This site exists to fight nihilism, negativism, nazism, communism, islamism, racism, and most other ugly isms. I ride the wake of the baby-boom, and am amazed at the poor performance my generation has turned in to date. I am ashamed of my generation for several reasons and you might see a few if you visit regularly. This is my way of making amends and apology for them all.

I could run on for pages about my peers, their foibles and their failings, however venting doesn’t do much - it just takes time and a wise man once said:

“Don’t act as if you have 100 years to live.”

– Marcus Antoninus Aurelius

Where I am coming from:

The “Ism” I love is Capitalism — it brings us fast cars, beautiful buildings, technology, healthier, happier people, and an open, bright future.

I don’t believe in gods or devils, I do believe in the power of human intelligence. Both good and evil are real,  but it takes people to create and enable both. That means that morals, judgement, and critical thinking are all required if you don’t want to accomodate or succumb to evil. You won’t find weak moral equivalence here, if I think something is wrong I will not only tell you, but also why it’s wrong.

That said, I think most of the 10 commandments are good values based on common sense, and supported logically without need of a God to empower them. They are part of the history and foundation of this nation. I also find rabid secularists piteously boring, obnoxious, evil, and holding of little sense of priority. If “In God we trust” being on the dollar bill offends you, then you need to get over it because there are much worse things in this world.

Government’s prime purpose is to protect their countries and the individual rights of their citizens — all other purposes are secondary and should be somewhat limited, government’s powers should not only be counter-balanced but circumscribed.

Life has purpose and meaning, unless you personally decide otherwise – however if that’s the case then why are you still around? Even if you do decide otherwise, it still has purpose and meaning for the rest of us, don’t get in the way.

I hate bad art, communists, and their weak-sisters the world socialists. I hate whining, crabbing, nihilism, and purposelessness. I hate people who try to tailor how other people should live their lives, our self-selected philosopher kings. If that last sentence didn’t give it away, I also hate Plato.

I don’t hate liberals or democrats, I just pity them. It must suck to have devolved to the point where your political purpose and platforms are based minute-by-minute on the output of the 24 hour news cycle and a mythos so distant from reality that it must recreate itself every five minutes.

At some other time I might describe some more of my likes and dislikes, but you should be able to see where I stand from this clearly; long lists grow boring and as the man said we don’t have a hundred years to live. In the end, everyone is my friend until they prove otherwise.

Administrivia:

Comments are open and Unmoderated by humans — they do not reflect my points of view, and I am not responsible for their content. Comments are moderated by Akismet, so you won’t see porn and gambling site ads in them (hopefully.) I do not allow people to register,  however you can comment without registering. The people registered here are all people I know directly.

This is my site and I have standards — if you post a crappy comment, a comment devoid of content, an unreasoned comment, or an ugly comment it’s not going to live long. Comments encouraging violence such as “nuke all the X” will not be tolerated but I am not omniscient and don’t watch comments 24×7, so it might take awhile to get rid of one that pops up.

If you post something worth reading that’s reasoned and factual, then it might live even if I completely disagree. Sometimes ugly, unreasoned comments might live just for illustrative reasons.

Anything sent direct to me in email is my property, and could be published, or used against you in a court of law. That said, if you send me email that you don’t want published then please let me know, otherwise I will consider it free game.
