For a long time I have been concerned that Americans were forgetting their own history in the pursuit of "democracy." On April 11, the public radio program "Innovation Hub" had an episode dedicated to why Majority rule leads to the victimization …

If you are looking for a new hosting company, you might want to look at Bluehost. Their service comes with a ton of things built-in. For example, if you want to use the WordPress content management software, it is already an option without you …

I'm pretty sure that Godaddy provides an email service for about 2 dollars a month. Many web hosting companies provide email services.

The subject of bullying in the workplace has come up three times on my"radar" in the last few days. I am in the middle of Dick Francis's book "Knockdown." Francis wrote about why he wrote the book and he is quite clear both in his introduction and …

No those who do not hearken to God do not have faith because Faith originates with the assurances of the Testifier. Those assurances are the substance upon which Faith stands and without those assurances all that one has is unsubstantiated …

For centuries, the northern kingdom of Israel claimed that they were worshipping Jehovah even though most of their religion centered around things which were not in the law which God had given through Moses. It was primarily because of their …

Although I believe in God's intervenient providence, I believe that it is a mistake to do more than what Mordechai did with Esther. Mordechai said "who knows whether you are not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Abraham Lincoln wrote …

Is "presumption of innocence" a bad thing? There are many who are arguing that it is bad. They argue that under circumstances (which they cherry-pick) in which one person accuses another person that the accuser should be believed and that the …

The company which is now Moderna, Inc. was started in 2010—but in spite of all its efforts it never brought a product to market until 2020. The only product which Moderna has is its Covid-19 vaccine product. It is no where near as large as many …

Braddock's march took place in 1755. To call the attack of May 28, 1754 a battle is to ignore the actual events. The french camp was completely unaware of Washington and his force nor had they any reason to suspect that someone might attack them …

"Sorry about that, Chief" — Maxwell Smart I meant 1754 not 1954. I am going to edit that comment so that subsequent readers will not be equally confused.

Since you wrote about those southerners who opposed seccession you might also be interested to know that there were a large contingent of "Americans" who opposed the revolutionary war. If you study an unbiased, unpatriotic history of the time …

It does not sound to me as if you are seeking to persuade anyone but rather that you are spoiling for a fight. As a believer in the Bible, I believe that on the Day of Judgment that those who have not been forgiven of the sin of deliberately …

If you are still looking for books about the civil war, you may be interested in a book on how those who opposed slavery read the Constitution. The book's title is: The Crooked Path to Abolition: Abraham Lincoln and the Antislavery …

Part of the reason that it happened was that about three and a half years ago, Florida voters voted that they wanted Florida to remain on DST year round. But the voters of Florida were not advocating a national permanent DST. As I said earlier …

I do not think that there is anything sinister in promoting Open Source over Proprietary. The writer of an article in the Guardian implied that there is something sinister. That is why I stated that the writer was trying to over-sell his case. He …

In my opinion, after having read this article the probability of the Shapira Fragments being fake is at least 99.9%. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/the-shapira-fragments/

This is an example, IMO, of what has gone wrong in the US Republican Party. (Explanation at the bottom.) In the 1960s and early 1970s, there were basically three kinds of Republicans. (There were hybrids of these three, but for the sake of …

What I would do is based on my own belief system. I try to persuade people to believe as I do but I am opposed to coercing someone into making decisions in which that person does not believe except when he or she is coercing or victimizing …

When it comes to the individual's assessment of what he (or she) accepts or rejects you and I have very similar viewpoints. What I have a problem with are those people who desire to prevent the tabloids, and the Thomas Paines, and the Edgar Cayces …

You apparently completely missed my point. The mentioning of Joseph Smith was not a reference to the religion which has developed since he first began publishing. I was referring to whether whatever mechanism which you have in mind for preventing …

Do you find anything sinister in the fact that someone promotes open source software and seeks to get people to avoid proprietary software? Do you find anything sinister in the fact that someone supports the development of end-to-end encrypted …

One of the disadvantages of Cake is that there is no way to send a private message to another user. I'm using this avenue because I do not know a more elegant way to send you a message. On a different thread you used the phrase "grounded in some …

Who arbitrates what is truth? Suppose in the 1830s that some government entity had decided to impose a predetermined definition of "truth" on Joseph Smith, Jr. A Cancel Culture might have decided that he could not write what he wrote because they …
