How to tell the media is lying, the deficit
Since Bush has been in office, a half trillion dollars was added to our nation’s deficit. How much of that was due to our disastrous and costly war? A third. How much for our social welfare, including for Katrina? A … Continue reading
How to tell the media is lying to you, healthcare

The Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Commission
Yesterday I attended the annual members meeting of the Justice and Peace Commission and felt like there was an inertia of inactivity, or let’s say activity of lesser consequence, which was not to be overcome. As if perhaps the PPJPC … Continue reading

May this thought-bubble hover over your head like a personal black cloud: When in all of human history have community activists turned out to be wrong? Human rights? Religious freedom? Liberty? Peace? Do you think they’re selfish? Self-serving? Do you … Continue reading
