This day and age makes me sick. In fact, it makes us all sick. It sickens me to live in this ignominious world inhabited by so many ignoble creatures. If I had a time machine, I'd use it.

On Democracy
Democracy is dying. We are killing it. When we abdicate from responsibility, we make it clear. We want none of that. Government cannot and won’t protect you. The social contract is null and void.
The Effective Gun Control Fallacy
Gun control does not work. It keeps law-abiding citizens under the boot heel of the tyrannic state while allowing criminals to run amok and cull the flock of hapless sheep. You pick up a gun you instantly become a citizen.
On Robber Barons
Funny thing how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Let’s consider knighthood, for instance. It all started like this, which was the ideal of the valiant knight who would sacrifice his own life to protect and succour the weak, the feeble, women and children, in short those who couldn’t protect themselves. Modelled … Continue reading On Robber Barons
On New Beginnings
I was watching this TV show, The Expanse, on Amazon Prime, the other day. It was this scene on top of a Baltimore sky-rise after a cataclysm had flooded it in a radical future that got me thinking. In it, Amos is trying to convince his former partner in crime to leave Earth behind and … Continue reading On New Beginnings
On Corporal Punishment
Corporal punishment has worked for millennia. A lenient society is not a better one. Government is not meant or equipped to raise children. Parents are. Doing away with corporal punishments creates monsters. It is our collective failure that brought us to this low point. By irresponsibly ignoring our Duty to Chastise as Loving Parents, we have created the Nightmarish Society of Today.

Many of us have been deceived into believing lies. Many of us now think the West is right to … Continue reading On Useful Idiots
Rights of Man – An Appeal to Heaven
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
The Common Sense of Good Old Times
Nowadays we take for granted the relative safety and security of the Big Daddy enclosed societies we live in. But there were times, much simpler times when responsibility for oneself belonged to each and every one. For instance, back then, 100 or 150 years ago, if there was a danger in the neighbourhood, people, heads … Continue reading The Common Sense of Good Old Times
Victory has many Parents while Defeat is an Orphan
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
