America is getting soft and here’s why. Everyday, I see and read about more complainers, cry-babies, and thin-skinned whiners. Whatever happened to the old adage, “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me”? It seems that, now, everyone is offended by something and everyone is willing to don a cap with a big “V”…
Oregon baker, Aaron Klein, owner of Sweets Cakes by Melissa, recently said he was living in accordance with his religious beliefs when he declined to make a lesbian couple their wedding cake. As you can imagine, so-called liberal tolerance doesn’t extend to Mr. Klein. I’ve read numerous articles so far and all have discussed the…
Bioethicist Daniel Callahan, in a recent editorial published in the Hastings Center Report, suggests that fat people should be shamed into losing weight. His strategy involves “social pressure combined with vigorous government action.” There are lots of reasons why people are fat.

I often wonder how these people function in the world without having any common sense – they haven’t yet figured out you can’t legislate…
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times, if people used their computer and technological skills and energy in a positive way, we’d all be better off. Instead, far too many use those skills in destructive, negative ways. I’m talking about the internet scammers. I’m sure you’ve all encountered them one way…
Anyone who’s read my articles knows that I’d rather stick knitting needles in my ears than watch an entire episode of “The View.” The idea of watching a bunch of cackling women sitting around a table spewing their mostly idiotic views is more than I can take. If I watch a segment every few months,…
It’s been almost a week since the Election. Even though I knew my vote didn’t count – each candidate I voted for lost and just about every issue on which I either voted yes or no went the other way – here in Washington, I voted nonetheless. Of course, I’m very unhappy about the results of…
