Futility
The right of self-determination is held dear by Texans. We believe in our bones that we ought to decide for ourselves how to live, where to live, and what to do with our lives. Unfortunately, Texans are denied self-determination in one very critical area. Under current health care policy, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders on […]

Engaging the culture, part 5: The key bit
Just what is the plan here? What is the purpose, the ultimate goal of “engaging the culture”? Do we merely want to be fairly represented or even merely understood? Or is it something more? Do we want to change culture, to affect the path that our culture takes? Cole Streeper, one of the Misfits gang, […]

Scandalapalooza
Wow. Yesterday was one for the history books. In one day we learned: We learned that the Benghazi talking points were lies. (That’s what we call something “completely untrue.”) The critical question, of course, is why lie? What truth are the lies covering? The cliche is “It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up,” but I […]

Fine Arts Friday: Love of nature
In future posts, I’ll be talking more in depth about the how and why of nature study, but today I want to honor the woman who instilled in me a love of nature and to wish her a happy birthday! My mother is a great lover of beauty, especially natural beauty. Now I’m from West […]

Terrible Tuesday: Light at the end of the tunnel
For parents of school-age kids (even homeschool kids) late April to May becomes a frenzy of class parties, concerts, awards ceremonies, and the like.

A bad idea from DC? I’m shocked!
Last week, I briefly mentioned the Internet Sales Tax being considered in Congress — it actually already passed the House of Representatives. It is scheduled to be voted on in the Senate today. So this is the thing, I’m not sure I oppose the idea of all internet sales taxes. Currently, an internet business must […]

Today all the world celebrates Cinco de Mayo, marking the Mexican Victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Well, actually they don’t. Most of Mexico doesn’t even celebrate Cinco de Mayo. (It’s not Mexican Independence Day. That happened on September 16, 1810 — half a century earlier.) Cinco de […]

Such a nerd
This is one of the best apologies for being a nerd by “professional nerd” Wil Wheaton. “It’s not about what you love, it’s about how you love it.” Giving your partner buy cialis no prescription the kind of sexual satisfaction they desire and more which they crave for.
