The strangest thing has happened. In April of 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, I published a post called Where Am I on the Political Spectrum. At the time, I thought it was a throwaway post. I wanted to post something, but couldn’t think of anything, so I took an online politics…
One of the biggest problems facing humanity is a general lack of imagination. People may object to this statement, but we are a very conservative species. People act like all of our problems are merely variations on a theme and they only consider a handful of solutions to deal with all of them. It doesn’t…
I wrote Facts vs. Honesty | Nutmegger Daily – Quality writing on many topics. Even though I published it, I wasn’t really satisfied with it. I should have sat on it, but I was having trouble figuring out what I didn’t like about it, and I had missed a few days posting new content. Little…

This is part 1 of a 4-part series exploring what is wrong with the United States’ government. The Supreme Court of the United States has been bad for a really long time, if it ever worked at all. And I don’t mean because it has a conservative majority. The conservative majority is a symptom rather…
I’ve never thought of myself as patriotic. I do have a certain affection for the United States, but only because it’s my home.
