Last night CNN held it’s first National Embarrassment; a debate among moral midgets! Let alone that the Democrats debate last week was nothing to rave about, the rampant and raving Republican nutcases (exception: Ron Paul),stood on the stage and had the audacity to spew their poison all over the gathered throng...and by extension, throught the toob to all on our (…)

“The evil...that dwells within man is of gigantic proportions!” - Carl G. Jung, on the unconscious aspects of the human psyche.
History may say they had a lot in common! They were both fanatical fundamentalists in politics, and in religious beliefs, too, and totally indifferent to the loss of human life on a massive scale. I’m talking about France’s dictator Maximilien Robespierre (1793-4), and America’s Uber-President, George W. Bush. After betraying his comrades during the French (…)

We live in an age of cynicism, so cynical we admit defeat without really trying, I want to be an optimist, I do but the case against it is so strong. We forget that victory is immersed in defeat, the sapping of your enemy’s strength the blunting of his plans by nothing more than your damn insistence and refusal to admit defeat.
The pages of history are full of events where the little guy without a chance of victory destroyed the stronger opponent through shear obstinatnance. During the (…)
