If you are afraid to discuss your beliefs, they are not
beliefs but prejudices.
How did we end up a society that pays someone to walk our
dogs so we can drive our SUVs to the gym to hit the treadmill for an hour?
When I was growing up in the 70's we didn't have things like
Facebook and Texting. If you wanted to send a message back then you had to
knock on ceilings or pipes or tie ribbons to trees.
Give a man genetically modified food and he will eat for a
day. Teach him to grow genetically modified crops and you will own his food
supply for life.
Isn't blaming government for the abuses it sometimes enables
kind of the same thing as blaming guns for the uses criminals put them to?
Life is like a box of chocolates: You get through what
little actual good stuff there is right away, then you constantly fool yourself
into believing there's still something good in whatever's left.
My dog has never done a useful thing in her 14 years
on this planet, and yet I would jump in front of a car without a second's
hesitation to try to save her. What can I learn from this? Perhaps that while
being useful may help us and others to continue to live, to bring joy into
other's lives makes life worth living. While she has never put food on the
table, she is always happy to see me and in all the years I have known her, she
has never once passed judgment on me, never once made me feel bad about who I
am. But more than anything she has helped me to see through her eyes, to see
the joy and soon forget the pain. Perhaps the ones we most appreciate, the ones
we are willing to do the most for, are those who enable us to see the most of
the miraculous in life.
Who you are and what you do today is most likely who you
will be and what you will do tomorrow. You have it within your grasp now to be
the person you wish to be, do the things you wish to do.
With all the money the government keeps taking from rich
people, how come they keep getting richer?
The fact that the media is overwhelmingly liberal is proof
the free market doesn't work.
The thing is, once the word liberal or conservative is
mentioned, once the name of a certain person you don’t like is used, your mind
rebels and rejects out of hand whatever is said, whether it is true or not. In
choosing a side you automatically reject half the world, can no longer see
colors but only black and white.
We are not raising children to be free but to conform. When
they are told rather than asked they are taught to obey rather than question.
What kind of freedom can come from such teaching?
