The left doesn’t want to know, because, you know, love… — There is nothing more self-righteous than those who would have you know that we should be nice and kind and generous to all people — even when it results in our own misery, loss, and confusion. This is the situation when one culture is being overwhelmed by another culture. As…

In a dystopian world, I think we’ve forgotten what really, really gives us pleasure. This morning, as I lay rereading Arthur Conan Doyle’s Lost world, I wondered what the hell bimetallism was. I also wondered if Doyle was the first man to mention Superman, although the comic book was first…

Quotas are the real reason there is so much disgruntlement about immigration. — At the end of WWII, the United States of America was very keen to have the intellect and knowledge accumulated by Europeans. In order to bring that about, they forgave a great many Nazi sins, and, in addition, legislated that the family of any immigrant who came to America, would…

It now seems that pie in the sky morality dominates us all — The increasing degree of irrationality in the world makes me ponder about the causes. What has driven the world from the place of objective reasoning that I grew up in to an emotional stew of garbage intermixed with pain? Years ago, I knew a neurologist who taught at Berkeley. He…

Therefore, the USA was going to save the world from climate change. That’s because the USA…

That’s my opinion, of course. — I have a somewhat disparaging view of religion — it doesn’t matter which religion it is. I see them all as primitive explanations from primitive men, believed at the time because, well, in those days, most people believed a lot of things. They particularly believed in gods, in fairies, in…

There is nothing wrong with the American immigration system — Unlike most people who are getting their knickers in a knot about migrants not being allowed to live legally in the States, I have actually lived and worked in many countries — legally. I also know quite a bit about legal immigration because I actually read the immigration laws. Let…

You are. There are plenty of people who grow up in dysfunctional homes, and they don’t lie, steal, or blame everything on their past home life. — Have you noticed how when some people do dreadful things, it’s all blamed on their dysfunctional home life. No mention is made of their bad character, or the fact that they knew the difference between right and wrong, and still went ahead and did wrong.
