Ok, I’ll admit it, straight off: the title is misleading. Because there’s not just a problem with Rachel Dolezal, but a whole host of them that I have neither the time or desire to address. The problem I do want to write about is the one that nobody seems to be asking. [That’s also misleading, […]

First, since this is likely the first visit to the site for almost all of you, and the first interaction with me as a constituent or citizen for just shy of that same amount, let me start with an introduction… As the domain name suggests, I am a dad. I have four precious kids that […]

Comments Off on Current Vaccine Hysteria and Unintended Consequences…
Let’s talk about the serious unintended consequence of the current vaccine hysteria…one that we all, regardless of our views about vaccines, should be able to not only understand, but one that we should all be greatly concerned about: our freedom. No, I’m not placing on the same level as ISIL extremists or other groups that […]

In the current hysteria, there’s been a growing number of people calling for more substantial quarantining–not of those infected with measles, but those unvaccinated, because they pose such a danger to the general population.

One of the ideas some have put out publicly, and that I touched on in the previous post (Vaccinations, Hysteria, and Mob Mentality…) is to bring charges against the unvaccinated.

The recent “outbreak” of measles at Disneyland has sparked quite a bit of controversy and hysteria. On Facebook I’ve seen a huge jump in the number of shared articles calling for all sorts of shaming of parents who don’t fully vaccinate (at the very least) to calling for criminal charges against parents, some even calling for the […]

We bought the 2012 movie adaptation of Les Mis from Amazon Instant about a week and a half ago after finally giving in to our oldest daughter’s near begging. I’d read as a kid, but was not at all prepared for the movie. How much did we like it? Let’s just say we’ve seen fully […]

Comments Off on Why I’m Voting Yes on I-522…
I was a big proponent in getting I-522 on the ballot, but as time went on, I had some nagging concerns that grew larger and larger. The truth is, those concerns haven’t been addressed. I-522 is flawed. But I’m still voting Yes. Let me start with the concerns. First, there are loopholes in what things […]

There’s been plenty of speculation about the tragedy in Boston, fueled in part by the investigation and not wanting to release information, partly by media not wanting to jump the gun regarding responsibility for the attack, partly because of conflicting reports, and some even speculate a conspiracy or cover-up. I think it’s easy to understand […]
