A word about June 2

          We remember June 2:"The Great Bambino":   Babe Ruth retired from baseball in 1935.   June 2, 1941: Joe DiMaggio extended his streak to # 19 on the way to 56."Leave it to Beaver":    We remember Jerry Mathers who was born in Iowa on this day in 1948.   Mathers will always be "The Beaver" in "Leave it to Beaver", one of the most popular TV shows ever.  "The streak":    Lou Gehrig took himself out of the Yankees' lineup in 1939.    It ended the consecutive game streak at 2,130 games, from 1925 to 1939   Lou died two years later in 1941.  "White House wedding":    President Cleveland[...]

The Role Of Christian Men In A Violent, Competitive World

... is this.For the TL;DR crowd, here's the post in a nutshell.From my last post wherein I pondered if life was peaceful back when single-celled algae occupied the top  rung of the evolutionary ladder. Life was not peaceful, it was filled with microscopic predations.The whole model of the world God made is effectively, while not utterly, Darwinian. Violent competition is a part of life at all levels. It is into that world that Jesus came. It is that world that gives us the dramatic conflicts of our lives, conflict being a necessary element of any story.Christian life happens within a context of violence. The violence is inescapable. God designed the world this way and it is in this structure that we must practice our[...]

There are a lot of interesting things going on in current events and I have ignorant opinions about all of it, but I really wanted to explore something else: What can we infer about Jesus' message from the nature of the world God created?Chatting away with ChatGPT, hereafter referred to as AI, about my current favorite topic - the Kumeyaay of San Diego and Khoisan of South Africa - I brought up one of my favorite jokes.If we want to give the land back to its original inhabitants, if we want to do land acknowledgements, if we want to atone for the sins of imperialism, then the recipients of our restitution really ought to be ... single-celled algae.It's time we gave back the land. And, of course, the water, too.Pulling that[...]

What Ails Us - But First Some Background

Someone close to me asked me to give an overall take on the current state of politics and the prospects for our future. I thought to answer, but first want to explain how I analyze the political landscape.Here are some key principles that are worth repeating because we seem to forget them.1. A chicken is an eggs way of making another egg.      To influence the the size and numbers of your chickens, manage egg production and consumption. Demographics are destiny.2. Eggs are rare, sperm is plentiful.      Combined with 1 above, the most important variable component of demographic destiny is female reproductive behavior and strategies.3. Testosterone confers greater strength and aggression[...]

Bezos vs Burnham - Robber Baron vs Managers

 Well not really; and not just because Burnham isn't a household name. James Burnham authored key insights on "managerialism" and predicted its eventual triumph over capitalism in his 1941 book "The Managerial Revolution," summarized here, but skip ahead 5 minutes (this is a great podcast). George Orwell provided this summary in 1943.Capitalism is disappearing, but Socialism is not replacing it. What is now arising is a new kind of planned, centralized society which will be neither capitalist nor, in any accepted sense of the word, democratic. The rulers of this new society will be the people who effectively control the means of production: that is, business executives, technicians, bureaucrats and soldiers,[...]

Depopulation

I meet a lot of very cool 30-ish people who dont seem to be on the path to having kids. Huge mistake. Kids are awesome.Its the circle of life. Its meant to be. Whether you believe in God or not, nature wants you to have kids.All your ancestors had children. Youre going to end a family tradition of millions of years because its inconvenient for your current lifestyle?

Natural Born Citizen Definition

Doo Doo Econ
1/19/2016 6:08:58 PM

    Once again Americans are facing questions about the definition of a Natural Born Citizen (NBC).This is the simple and indisputable definition: Two citizens who have a child, naturally create a new citizen. This is a Natural Born Citizen.There is absolutely no expert either legal or historical who will argue to the contrary. They may argue to include additional citizens, but this is the core of the definition.Two people who have a child in a location, have a citizen who is native to that land. This is a Native Born Citizen. Thus, terms like "Native American" which imply a location and not an allegiance to a country.A person can be both Natural Born and Native Born, or in the United States we also have Naturalized[...]

Obama Fuels Eternal Islamic War on America

                Do you remember the headlines when Obama apparently declared America a Muslim country on French television?    Taken from an Islamic perspective this statement is dangerous. It sounds as if the President of the United States sees America is a Muslim nation. When you consider translations, this may presented to the masses as exactly that, American President Hussein (an exclusively Islamic name)  Obama declares America to be Islamic. Thus America would be "al-Islam", or territory which may never be ceded to non-Muslims.Semantics, right? Over-reaction, right?Except, this is a long standing meme from not only the President, but also his staffers.   [...]

And Where a Salon Scribe Gets a Tad Out of His Swim Lane

Over the weekend, Salon writer, DAVID MASCIOTRA, caused quite a dust-up on social media with his own salute to the troops ahead of Veterans Day . Here is the headline, followed by the sub-headline and then followed by the first paragraph of the piece:You dont protect my freedom: Our childish insistence on calling soldiers heroes deadens real democracyIt's been 70 years since we fought a war about freedom. Forced troop worship and compulsory patriotism must endPut a man in uniform, preferably a white man, give him a gun, and Americans will worship him. It is a particularly childish trait, of a childlike culture, that insists on anointing all active military members and police officers as heroes.If you desire, you can read it[...]

Football rules changes...? You've come to the right place

Dean
1/31/2015 2:04:56 PM

    Theres no denying that over the last few decades most all on-field rules changes made by the NFL have been exercises in increasing offense and scoring. This has created an arms race in a sense where the pendulum swings back and forth between the NFL offenses and NFL defenses whereby the offenses get aided by rules changes and the defenses counter with a combination of innovative schemes and superior athletes. To wit, for years, its been conventional wisdom that the best athletes in the world were in the NBA. Now days, we would add NFL defensive backs and possibly outside linebackers/rush ends into that mix (you dont think dudes like Richard Sherman, Darrelle Revis and J.J. Watt can ball a little?).But[...]
