The Ominous Threat of Surging DEI
The ominous threat of surging DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) powers on college campuses was again evident last month when campus security officers barged into a law classroom at Ohio Northern University and escorted Professor Scott Gerber to the dean’s office with armed police following down the hall. The professor was immediately barred from teaching, […]
How Can Smart People Think Differently From Me?
How can smart people think differently from me? How do they develop opinions so contrary to mine? If they’re so smart, I reason, why don’t they see the light? It’s a well-worn riddle. Well, thanks to a stroke of serendipity, I’ve come to see clearly how conflicting views may be formed, more specifically how a […]
The Scary World of Dietary Supplements
Are you aware of the scary world of dietary supplements? I am, and I still ingest a good number of them, as I’ve mentioned here earlier (See here). Am I nuts? Maybe. As you know, dietary supplements can be purchased “over the counter” with no apparent restrictions. Although the packaging of these supplements almost always […]
Physicians are Losing Their Authority
Physicians are losing their authority, a power they once had in abundance. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you may remember that I touched on this topic when I dissected the exorbitant costs of our current medical care (click here to see that article). As I pointed out there, the days of […]

Admittedly, the word means different things to different people. To read a broad view of the varied meanings click here. One of the least divisive definitions of woke I found is “alert to and […]
Is It Racist To Ask What Field You Work In?
What is your field of work? Apparently some individuals deem that to be an unsettling question. Let’s examine this viewpoint. Please take a moment to consider what the word field means to you. What does it bring to mind? I asked myself that question and instantly came up with a stream of impressions: baseball field, […]
How a one-time house painter attempted to become an “artist”
The story of how a one-time house painter attempted to become an “artist” never entered my head until an observant neighbor sent me a thought-provoking email, one that prompts me to tell you this story. It started earlier this month when I posted a photo of the Christmas lights decorating my balcony. I realized that […]
Merry Christmas, Dear Readers
Merry Christmas, Dear Readers! I will keep this short, because I am scurrying around, trying accomplish enough today and tomorrow so that I will be able to relax and enjoy this Christmas weekend with friends and family. We in the Kansas City area had a couple of inches of snow last night, and my cell […]
Remember Pearl Harbor Day
I remember the attack on Pearl Harbor. I lived in Timber Lake, SD, a small town west of the Missouri River. It was Sunday, December 7, 1941, I was nine years old. So what? most of you might say. Why, I weren’t even born then! If so, I suggest you belong in what psychologists define […]
