Photo by Bryce Carithers on Pexels.com Two of the states flipped house seats back to Republican the last election. My reaction was "where were the voters who flipped to Democrat in 2018?" Then the thought came out, "Voters don't understand that the house alone cannot change things." A very wise person commented "a great many …

Reason’s Last Gasp
Reason is dying. I'm not the first person to express such a sentiment. I'm certainly not the most learned person to address the issue. But, in an age and country where facts, science, and intellect are no longer valued by a large portion of the population, that last point probably doesn't matter. We are facing …
“Judge Not……”
Have you ever found yourself flat on your back with stars in your eyes and a burning headache? All you have to do is walk through an open gate that has active hot wire stretched across at eye level! The property was used as a boarding stable run by a veterinary friend who not only …
“Give Me The Boy”
A community is being destroyed by a giant who is looking to avenge herself on a young boy from the village. The resident witch implores the villagers, "we can always give her the boy....give me the boy!" I once had an employer who was a lovely man, but after seeing Into the Woods his take …
History Through Rose Colored Glasses
The Trail of Tears I grew up loving history. Books were my escape, British, French, Russian history in fact or fiction. (Yes, I read War and Peace all the way through! Hated the villagers that ate the soldiers horses...but felt for their despair). But the most enthralling of all was our history, the history of …
What is Racist?
I really need to stop listening to NPR! This time they were talking about diversity in the work place, a good subject for discussion. However, when a gentleman called in to state they had hired a diversity guru in his business to help the employees work through the knotty subject of welcoming diversity, it began …
Lament of a Liberal
I was raised in a staunch Republican family. As a very young girl I read volumes on history, novels based on historic figures, and loved learning about the birth of our country. My first introduction to politics and our election process was during the 1952 election cycle. At the age of 14 I had the …
What Was That Thing Last Night?
I was in a speech club in high school that included our debate team. I know what a debate sounds like, and it sure as heck does not sound like last night! You can learn a lot from musical comedy. The following is from Chicago , the song is "Class": Whatever happened to fair dealing?And …
Strong Women, Oh My?!
Who knew? Kamala Harris has warmth! Wasn't she just a cold, hard District Attorney turned Senator? Well, people, I knew. Granted, as a Californian I was closer to the source, but she first burst into my awareness as a Senator interrogating cabinet members on the hot seat. After watching her brilliant questioning, her total command …
A Little Bit Racist
This segment is dealing with bigotry, racism, and cultural prejudice. All of those feelings generally emanate from a dislike, or fear of the "other", although as shown later there is also the element of simply crossing the norm and appearing "out of place". Unfortunately, I have heard a few radio voices or read opinion pieces …
