There are certain people who will drag us into the 21st century whether we are ready for it or not. I liken them to the pioneers of the past. People like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and more recently, Steve Jobs. … Continue reading Our Entrepreneurial Spirit
Some say America’s independent nature will prove to be our downfall. I can see some logic in that belief. Especially when “independent nature” become obnoxiously self-centered or even narcissist.Will these times be known as a paradigm shift or just a … Continue reading Our Independent Nature…
Let’s face it, patience is just not much of a practiced virtue anymore. Proof of that is that so many seem to think that the current lockdown is agonizing. But it is only in its fourth month. Four months is … Continue reading These Times Are A Blip On The Radar Screen Of Life
Given that much of the church of Jesus Christ has morphed into something entirely different, I feel compelled to bring RedLetterLiving out of its six-year hiatus. So, starting soon I will be posting at least weekly here again. The posts here will appear in parallel over at my home blog at RJsCorner.net but I think it is important that is also stands alone here. It is amazing to me how many visits RedLetterLiving has gotten since I quit blogging here. The future posts will be primarily about living life as Jesus taught us in the Red Letters in the Christian … Continue reading Coming Back to RedletterLiving – Again
I have spent about half my life now in rural America, so I am familiar with silos. But it surprised me when I saw the following words in a recent New York Times post. That’s because A.I. can instantly sort … Continue reading Siloed Data??
I want to start out this post reminding you that not all hotspots are bad. I know during these pandemic times we all likely cringe when we hear that word. It means that during these times of a totally incompetent … Continue reading The New Hotspot…
The longer I live the more convinced I have become that the American style capitalist economy is unsustainable for much longer. Eventually, our version of capitalism must merge with socialist type system in order to survive. I know that is … Continue reading The Markets Are Not A Real Barometer Of Prosperity
This is a sister post to yesterday’s. It is for the people who view my daily post from the WordPress Reader, or those who have never looked at my About pages, to get a fuller understanding of where I am coming from. RJsCorner has two fundamental cornerstones It is also about the lessons that I have learned throughout my life that I might humbly pass on to you. Will Rogers One of these cornerstones is my hero, my virtual mentor, my friend. His name was Will Rogers. He died almost 15 years before I was born so I really only know … Continue reading About My Cornerstones
I heard the title above recently, although I don’t remember where, but it stuck with me. I will admit that I seldom even look at that site since you know who starting using it to spread his hateful lies. I’m sure that is one of the reasons I boycott it, but it is not the only one. Conspiracy theories thrive there as well as some very abusive lies. It seems that Jack Dorsey, the owner of that media, just doesn’t care much about his invention being used in such a scandalous way so nothing is likely to change in that … Continue reading Twitter Is Like Writing On A Public Toilet Wall
Have you heard of the new insecticide that, while it doesn’t actually kill flies, make them so sexy that you can swat them two at a time? Take My Wife, Please – Henney Youngman’s Giant Book of Jokes Now that’s what I call pragmatic, and I am nothing if not pragmatic. If it works then the elegance of it doesn’t really matter.🤣 Continue reading Two At A Time…?
Our heritage and its symbols are a two-sided sword. On one side it is the things that make us great, on the other side it is the things that perpetuates our problems. Approaching heritage from a pragmatic view means knowing … Continue reading Clinging To Our Heritage
I don’t know about you but network TV just seems to be getting worse and worse, especially during these summer months. Everyone says network TV demise is imminent now so maybe this is the first signs. Yeah, there are still … Continue reading Losing My Patience With Network TV & Slow Internet Connections
I am going to give you my answer up front for this post. All the above pretty much come from the same place. Racism looks like hate, but hate is only one manifestation. Privilege says that you deserve things that … Continue reading Racism, Hate, Privilege, Ignorance, Apathy – Which Is Worse?
I know it seems like I have more bad stuff to say about the U.S. than good but that is only because I want it to be better and better. A couple of the things I most admire about my … Continue reading Freedom From Religion & Land Grabs
I can see in the not too distant future a revolution coming that will make what us Baby Boomers created seem minuscule in comparison. Yeah, we had our days but now we seem to be more a source of the problems than solutions. Just look at our “Senators and Congressmen” who are stifling any possible change to keep our planet healthy or to live up to our principles enshrined on the Statue of Liberty. I guess too many of us Baby Boomer have now become what we despised in our youth. We are the primary part of the “fearful” who … Continue reading For The Times, They Are A Changin…
