Thomas Paine was one of the most lucid and far seeing thinker and Founding Father of the American Revolution, and of the English Enlightenment. One of his works of note, the Rights of Man, prefaced and in many ways accompanied both the Revolutionary War as well as the French Revolution. The Year was 1789. The … Continue reading Rights of Man – An Appeal to Heaven
Each generation faces the shift of being proven wrong by the next generation. And every generation imagine itself to be the smartest one in history. Luckily, reality proves us constantly and irrevocably wrong about the world we live in. The other day I was returning home from work thinking about the future of the universe. … Continue reading The Schadenfreunde of Our Mortality
Has anyone noticed how government is very fast to claim responsibility in victory and how in defeat or in the face of a setback they say “We’re all in this together”? Because I have. It has occurred to me that victory has many parents among the government, the elite, the establishment, as well as among … Continue reading Victory has many Parents while Defeat is an Orphan
More than 40 years ago, back when Ridley Scott had access to its unfettered faculties, he directed a great flick: The Duelists (1977). It featured two great actors of our age, Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine. The Movie: The Bonapartist mad dog Feraud a.k.a.

Life is Change. Life is Immanence. And if Andrew Lloyd Weber was right to say Truth is a changing law, then what is the Rule of Life?
Are we too many or not enough? Do we accept the narrative of the Elite? Or do we forge our own Future in the heat of battle against tyranny? We all have a choice to make because if Life is about Anything, it is about Freedom. And Freedom is about Making a Choice. I made my choice. How about you?
Freedom is not just a state of mind. Freedom is a stage in life. It is both a sign of maturity and mental development. Babies are wards of their parents. And most people are wards of the State. A few People are Free.
What would you fight and die for? Where is your line in the sand? Like ancient Christian martyrs, each of us is endowed with Free Will.
