Philosophy
Discussions about PHILOSOPHY. Because everyone needs to wax poetic every once in a while. This category will contain everything that interests me about PHILOSOPHY.
The Words Mean What I Want Them To Mean When I Say Them
To paraphrase Humpty Dumpty in Lewis Carroll’s Through The looking Glass. Which is then completed though Alice’s reply: “The question is, ” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty. “which is to be master—that’s all.” Like Mr. Humpty Dumpty, we all want to be […]
Where Did The Void (Nothingness) Come From?
To be honest, I had developed a schedule of sorts for my blog. I had intended to introduce, and comment on, a series of items that interest me within the topics of Life / Religion / Politics / Science / and Philosophy in some sort of loosely structured but coherent order. But I am already […]
Caught My Attention …
I was definitely NOT thinking about blogging this today – but I was double blind sided on the way home and I have not been able to get it off my mind since. What was I blind sided by? Car emblems. You know, those magnetic, chrome, cute and witty, little flashy things people like to […]
LRPSP

Specifically the end of his comment: “It saddens me that an adult could believe such things as fact. You are robbing your children of their lives and wonder by filling every unknown […]

Some have suggested that this is double jeopardy (tried for the same crime twice) and that if Italy were to request extradition of Ms. Knox that the request might be denied based upon those grounds. However, I’ll […]
Life Isn’t Fair
There is a philosophy of fairness gripping our world today. Governments speak of inequities that exist between rich and poor, healthy and sick, happy and sad. The have’s and the have not’s. It is unnerving to some that so few could have so much and so many could have so little. They want to right […]
Is There A God?
One of the harder hitting and more intriguing questions asked in Life, Religion, Science, and Philosophy is: “Is there truly a God?” I might suggest here that the question ought to be asked within Politics as well, but alas, it would seem that most of our Governments today have either convinced themselves that it makes no […]
