    a corporate coup d’etat…

    ___________________________________

    Please tell me, I’m not the only one infuriated today… I am beginning to empathize with the passion and indignation that motivated Thomas Paine to write his provocative treatise, “Common Sense,” which was directed at the injustice of colonialism spurred by the Monarchy [...]

    all things equal…

    all things equal…

    Where did this notion that “all are equal” come from? I realize “The Declaration of Independence” states,
    All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
    In my interpretation of this document, the writer’s are not talking of [...]

    a peace initiative…

    martyrWhat reaction does your soul have upon viewing these provocative images and words? I see both sides… in the book Martyrs Mirror, there is a ugliness that wears off on the reader. A repulsion that sticks in your craw that cannot be wiped clean with any of the Disney movies.

    global politik…

    global politik…

    One of the hardest things for many in the United States to grasp is the effect of economic globalization on political and social responsibility. Western Capitalism has catapulted its ideals into the global marketplace and the effects are ripping through the fabric of nationalism and traditional religious alliances.

    stop the chatter…

    stop the chatter…

    The conversations were incessant. A constant stream of commercial advertisements, personal propaganda, and pride-filled ignorance that flowed into an ever-powerful stream of white noise. The fix was simple yet confounding. One cannot shut off the spigot of nourishing affirmation and expect to be triumphant over the fear, the horror, of not being [...]

    love defined…

    When commitment matches affection.
    Love is messy. It has the capacity to stain, smear and smudge. In response to this reality we can do two things:
    1.  help clean-up each other’s mess, or
    2.  go home and do our own laundry
    In helping each other ‘clean-up’ we find a brand of love that is the best detergent. Together we [...]

    blogging for business cards…

    Do Bloggers Need Business Cards?
    This is a great question… in a digital world why pass out a laminated card that doesn’t directly link to my domain on the interwebs…? We are not living in the 1980’s where a Rolodex is the featured desktop item next to the telephone nor do we have business card [...]

    letter to GM buyers…

    This email from GM was sent to my inbox today… it was a plea from GM for support of the “bailout,” (I’m sorry, the federal loan)… really? You run your business into the ground because you are big, slow and resistant to change, and now you want us to fund your apathy…? I [...]

    free starbucks coffee if you vote!

    The epitome of American Democracy/Capitalism – “I Voted” sticker on my shirt and a free Starbucks coffee in my hand. It took me a total of 23 minutes from when I stood in line to when I put my ballot in the machine. Lines outside LifeChurch.tv (where I work) are super long, probably [...]
