The crisis in Haiti is devastating and consumes much of the news hour these past days, and well it should.  We Americans pride ourselves in doing good and valuing life and humanitarian principles.  Our response in such times is an outpouring of support and service.  While there are always delays and issues in organizing massive [...]

Volcker trashes the financial industry for hubris

I’ve always admired former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker.  He’s a ballsy giant of a man whose plain talking stogie puffing ways and role in breaking the stranglehold of banks in the ’80s precipitating the S&L crisis have made him both a household name and a reputation as one of the most straightforward and down to [...]

Education Pays – Part II: Continuing Education

Read part one of this series here. In my previous post on education I addressed formal education, specifically higher education.  As stated therein, I view higher education in a very utilitarian light.  It is an investment in one’s future and one should expect to earn a return from it.  Yes, along the way you may [...]

What the Hell is Wrong with the Willing Beta?

Bruce Lee ~ Philosophy to live and play by

Bruce Lee’s life is a study in adaptability and resilience.  His is a philosophy of paring any endeavor down to it’s essentials; one of efficiency and simplicity.  He recommends that we live as an empty vessel and flow like water, adapting to our circumstance.  I can’t think of a better metaphor to describe true game [...]

Hypergamy, the Myth of Female Monogamy and Personal Responsibility in the Age of Feminism

In the past I have made the case that feminism seeks to eliminate double standards which are perceived to favor men, yet gladly perpetuate those serve the interests of women.  One such case is the abdication of female responsibility to family and society in favor of personal satisfaction.  Oddly their definition of equality does not [...]

Grandma ain’t no saint: a kick in the crotch for family values abstinence only proponents

Thought Grandma was a chaste flower on her wedding day?  Ha, think again!  Research shows that despite the morals voiced publicly we’re all a bunch of horndogs behind closed doors and have been for at least the better part of a century.  The only difference now is that with delayed marriage, we have more partners [...]
