Over My Head
I will admit up front that I’m in over my head when it comes to emotions. I have spent my lifetime suppressing them whenever they come up. I will get into the reasons for that later. Continue reading Over My Head

Quotes – About Ignorance & Stupidity
We need to constantly remind ourselves of the wisdom of the past to prevent a tragedy in the future. Of course, MLK’s words above apply very directly to our times. I just hope there are still enough of us around … Continue reading Quotes – About Ignorance & Stupidity
The Making of Lumpy Pie
Lumpy Pie is the dessert of choice for far too many of us. As you can see from the graphic above its primary ingredients are lazy-minds and proud-ignorance. For those with half an ounce of brains this pie is just … Continue reading The Making of Lumpy Pie
LOM – Herd Mentality
You are going to hear a lot from me about the topic of “Herd Mentality” here on LOM. Unfortunately, that is where most people seem to live. We are social animals, but that doesn’t mean that we should live our … Continue reading LOM – Herd Mentality
Seeking Bliss
I know the old saying that “Ignorance is Bliss” but I would kinda like finding bliss without going that far. We are in some pretty serious times but, let’s face it, ignorance can be down right dangerous right now. Bliss … Continue reading Seeking Bliss
Racism, Hate, Privilege, Ignorance, Apathy – Which Is Worse?
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?
If Everyone Wore A Mask…
Before I get down to the crux of this post I want to tell you about one of the most heart wrenching books I have ever read. Its title was The Cry and the Covenant. The book was written in … Continue reading If Everyone Wore A Mask…

Being Prepared…
Even though I was never a Boy Scout, I am a person who tries to be prepared for the challenges I will be facing. If I want to discuss a controversial topic I try to study both sides to see where my feelings might reside. “Think For Yourself” is one of my primary mantras in my life. I simply don’t let others tell me what to think. But then again, maybe that is one of the reasons I was never a Boy Scout (ha). Then I see the current Oval Office occupant who is totally unprepared for the many challenges he faces. I know he never dreamed he would actually occupy that prime real estate, he was just having fun dissing people. Maybe that is an excuse for being … Continue reading Being Prepared…

Evangelical Christians Fear Knowledge
I am beginning to think that the phrase “Ignorance is Bliss” is a very appropriate condition in trying to keep informed in the political world today. There is just so much phoniness and lies floating around that world now as … Continue reading Evangelical Christians Fear Knowledge
Ignorance Outshines Wisdom
“I don’t suppose there ever was a time when everybody knew as little about what they were talking about as they do today.” – Will Rogers, 19 September 1933 How does ignorance come to outshine wisdom? Of course, that is not true for all of us but the percentages seem to be drifting in that direction as our recent elections showed us. The religions of 81% of Evangelicals who put Trump in office requires all their members to proclaim that the earth is only 6,000 years old. They refuse to accept any scientific knowledge that says differently. Ignorance has trumped … Continue reading Ignorance Outshines Wisdom
