  • Yes, Wars Are For Real but for How Long?
    I was recently forwarded an article entitled “This War Is For Real”. In it are the arguments, written in 2005, for the USA, Great Britain, and the other allied nation’s involvement in the war in Iraq. My article herein is a response to that “This War Is For Real” article where I have labeled the actions of the USA, GB, and etc as the acts of an outlaw vigilante posse! This is because, while I agree that terrorism is a form of war, that wars are indeed real, and both that should be stopped.. MORE
  • Can You Think Outside The Nationalism Box?
    We are taught in school to color inside the lines. To mark, check, and punch inside the box. We are also instructed as to what is right and what are the wrong types of behavior. Indeed we are punished or at least criticized if we color over the lines; mark, check, or punch outside the box... More
  • I too have a dream… I dream of a World Without War...
    As acting chairperson of the World Peace Political Party, I get a large number of emails regarding W3P and the United Free Nations Organization proposal. More than half these emails are full of negative, unfounded assumptions, with no alternative suggestions, and usually are very poorly written responses.

    Here is a copy of one of these negative emails with the anonymous sender’s unedited comments proceeded with a “Q:” (For Question) followed by my point by point “R:” (response ):
  • An Open Letter to the Leaders of the Nations Attending the G8 Conference, July 2009
    Our national leaders, least some of the leaders of a few of the nations of the world, are going to meet again at the annual G8 convention, this year in Italy and in July of 2009.

    There can be no peace on Earth until there are worldwide laws against war and terrorism. And not just worldwide laws against war but also a world police force capable of enforcing those laws!

    The G8 agenda's “initiatives” about economy, energy, and the climate are very worthy contemporary... more
  • My Country! Right or Wrong???
    During the Vietnam War, the slogan in the United States, was “Our Country, Right Or Wrong”. And at the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, primarily by the United States and Great Britain, the slogan was “Support Our Troops!”. I would like to talk now about these two slogans in this article.

  • RE: In the Fall Of 1966 ... Some Q's from Mr X & As
    I have been asked a series of challenging questions in response to my recent article, "In the Fall Of 1966".

    The first question was:

    * What war would you have elected to fight in? Last 200 years?

    My answers follows...
  • In the fall of 1966
    In the fall of 1966, I was just a summer past being graduated out of high school when I turned 18 years old. Yes, if you do the math, I am over 60 years old now. At that time when I turned 18, it was as it is now, mandatory that young males (but not young females) register for the United States of America’s Armed Forces Selective Service System (a.k.a. the “Draft”)...

  • FW: Christmas Stamps "urgent"
    Christmas Stamps "urgent"".

    It was marked “urgent” in the subject and further identified as “Importance: High” in the header of the email body and uses very, very LARGE and RED and BOLD FONTS!. There was even someone’s assurance that the information in the email was “ok” because they “checked it out on Snopes”.
