Today rounds out the 12 points of the scout law I have been using to fill the first 12 weeks of this new meme. The twelfth point of the Scout Law reads “A scout is reverent.” Rarely do I discuss religion on this blog, and never do I evangelize. I… Continue reading
I have been going through the 12 points of the scout law to kick off this meme. Today we’re looking at point 10, a scout is brave. When we think of bravery, images of people running into a burning building to rescue somebody come to mind. That certainly is one… Continue reading
It has been a contentious battle for those affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America who would like to drop the exclusion of gay individuals and those who want to keep it in place. The reasons for both sides are deep-rooted in peoples’ upbringing and strongly-held belief systems. I saw… Continue reading
Let’s start out with the confession that, like most Americans, I have no ties to the Middle-East. Because of that, like me, most Americans have difficulty understanding the motivation for the actions of the people in these lands.

Yesterday, I contacted Rep. David Schweikert to voice my opposition to HR3523, aka CISPA. I confess I was pessimistic about his position on this matter, as he tends to vote along tea-party lines, and opposing CISPA is more of a libertarian (small L) position. I received an email from Schweikert… Continue reading
Despite all the wacko nutjob politicians in Arizona who push through legislation regardless of whether the people they represent want it or not, there was a glimmer of hope in this morning’s paper. Governor Jan Brewer vetoed a bill being pushed through by reactionary members of the Arizona GOP, showing… Continue reading
