I am becoming increasingly convinced that it is impossible to change the world for the better without being a joyful person. While the world will inevitably deal us moments where we must grit our teeth and bear suffering, no enduring good will come of a life of continual painful sacrifice…

A Conversation With An Onion

My wife keeps a bowl on the kitchen counter in which she places onions to be used for cooking. While packing my lunch yesterday, I noticed an onion that had apparently been sitting there for a long time and had begun growing, a shoot of six inches or so…

Childhood In Three Generations

My wife and I walked the dog tonight, up past the water park/mini-golf course that was recently built eight blocks away from my home. It was built to give kids something to do since there isn’t a lot of open space nearby. As we walked by the eight foot tall…

Darwin, Capitalism, and the Rise of the Economic Stinkbug

Here you see a man with enough money to hunt endangered animals on other continents. This man assuredly views himself as a lion in the economic sphere, which only goes to show what a perversion of nature our economy has become. If this is what we regard as an example…

Cappy Talist And The Fruit Pickers Part 1 (A Political Allegory)

Once upon a time there was a land without laws. And because there were no laws, there was no property, for how can one claim possession is nine-tenths of the law when there is no law? I won’t try to paint the picture as being rosy and perfect, but the…

The Road I Travel

A Drive To Work I now drive 40 minutes to get to work every day. As an environmentally inclined person, I feel bad about that, but I do need to make the house payments. And despite the fact it takes a bite out of my day, I enjoy the ride…

Shrugging Off Atlas

I’ve never read Ayn Rand’s magnum opus Atlas Shrugged. I barely made it through her painfully bad though mercifully brief novel Anthem. But I think I know the gist of the story of Atlas Shrugged, that all of the owners of the means of production were being persecuted and then…

We Came, We Saw, Thousands Are Still Dying 12 Years Later

5,100 people dead in flooding in Libya so far, entire city blocks swept away by burst dams caused by the flooding. “As much as a quarter of the city (of Derna) has disappeared, emergency officials said.” I was listening to NPR yesterday and a guest was saying that the flooding…
