I love thinking at the macro level. I guess my attitude is “think big or go home”. We have a lot of problems in this country that desperately need solutions. It would be great if one solution could solve multiple … Continue reading Two Birds With One Stone (aka Think Big)
Thinking They Are Above The Law…BUT It is interesting to see two different stories of wealthy people thinking that their money makes them above the law but then to discover it doesn’t. Paul Mannafort was sentenced to 7.5 years in federal prison for dozens of instances where he flaunted the law in several different areas included evading millions of dollars of taxes. But his sentence seemed pretty low to me. I still remember where a guy in my very red county was given six years for stealing a roll of wire from an electrical power yard! I wonder if the … Continue reading Sunday March 17 – Snippets
This Saturday, I want to clue you in on one of the most essential tools I have in following my favorite blogs. That tool is Feedly. Here is how they describe themselves. Feedly (click name to see the sign-up screen) … Continue reading Techie Saturday – About Feedly
Is democracy going to be that short 250 year period in earth’s history when we thought people could rule themselves? Given what has been happening the last decade or so, it seems we might not not up to the task. In the beginning of our American democracy Thomas Jefferson said: Are we up to that task today? It seems not. We in the US allowed a completely incompetent con-man to snake his way into the Oval Office. Anyone who cared to do even a minimal amount of study would have found that he was totally unprepared for the job. He … Continue reading The Twilight Of Democracy?
I spent some time last week fleshing out my thoughts about one of my foundations in life that drives my “Question Everything” attitude. I have been living it for some time now but just never got around to thinking it thoroughly through till now. I originally posted this on my special projects blog over at CrackingCreativity but thought it would be a good thing to also present it here: The Four Parts of our Personal Reality Spectrum What is Personal Reality? – I know that that this term has been used for a myriad of topics over the years but … Continue reading The Personal Reality Spectrum
Yesterday I told you a little about my car collection. I am so proud of the twenty-six vehicles in my stable. I promised you some pictures, so here they are. Oh, I guess I forget to tell you one little detail about my collection. :) They are 1/32 scale models sitting on the shelves behind me. I suspect you got the wrong impression of what I was talking about. It just goes to show you that even though everything I said yesterday was the truth, sometimes the truth can be stretched beyond recognition. That is why you should stick to … Continue reading About My Car Collection
I am sorry to say that some of the most respected creators in the car customization field are in the long run just one of the followers of the latest trends. Being a car guy, I am an avid watcher … Continue reading I’m A Car Guy
I was going to try and make a couple of posts that attempted to explain the difference between religious beliefs and philosophy of religion, but that just got too complicated and technical so I decided to keep it simple by … Continue reading Can God Make A Rock That He Can’t Lift?
What’s happened this week that might be worth a few words but probably not many more than that. A More Creative Header for Sunday’s Posts I hope you like it. It does show a slightly different angle for my end-of-the-week posts. And I think it just looks better. :) There seem to be a lot more people who have chosen to be ignorant of all this political stuff going on. I certainly am one of them. I’m much happier as a result. Maybe you, heck, maybe everyone, should try it at least until a month before the next election. Let’s … Continue reading Sunday, March 10, 2019
Warning! This is going to be one of my off-the-wall posts so hang on. (ha) Now that there are so many photo editors with “Saturation” and “Vibrance” buttons it seems like every photo on the web is extremely dramatized. Everyone … Continue reading The Virtual Reality of Hyper Saturated Photos
Where does one start with this topic? To me, all these types of serious discussions start with Wikipedia. They seem to always give me a good high-level view of the topic at hand. Philosophy of religion is “the philosophical examination of … Continue reading Getting Started with Philosophy of Religion
This post is a result of a comment by one of my regular readers on a recent “Sunday This N’ That” post. I mentioned that colleges have a shortage of qualified computer-related professors. But in a reply to a comment … Continue reading About Teacher Pay
When I decided I wanted to study the philosophy of religion I had no idea what I had bitten off! I now know that it is one of the major branches of Philosophy. I knew Socrates had things to say … Continue reading The Philosophy of Religion
I’m taking a week off here at RJsCorner. See you again on March 4 I need to get a few rants out of my system before I explode. 😳 That is what this Sunday post is about. Morally Incompatible John … Continue reading This N’ That – About Morals, Money & Hope
