Is Alex a victim of the modern age? He is certainly despicable in nature, and becomes the focus of society’s pity. And is it because he becomes an issue, the problem of sex and violence on youth?
Oh, but to readers, it is the question of freedom of choice. To Alex’s society, the question is whether we can reform a man permanently. But to us, it’s what we lose if we do. Continue reading

“The Integrity of Objects”
The Integrity of Objects
The integrity of objects
As in Golden Gate Bridge
As in a bicycle well being
Whole while ridden upon
So to move as intended
as in complete, moving
or still to withstand as
intended, undiminished,

in the air, all things with
atoms shaking, all things
as only one thing at all.
I inspect, if I am a whole
being out of integrity with
myself, a part diminished,
if the answer I withstand.

As far as conspiracies go, the plot to kill Jesus is as deep as they go, wrought with implications of intrigue, blame, and consequence. The death of Christ is a testimony, not only to himself, but also to human nature. Human beings conspire to do very evil things in this world. But the problem with conspiracies, however, is that sometimes theories about them are wrong. Proof of that is the circulating theory after his resurrection that his own followers had somehow…stolen the body. Continue reading
Last week, Fox News analyst Ralph Peters said goodbye to his news network. In a scalding hot letter of intent, Col. Peters, after a decade of working with Fox, came out as ashamed of the network for having “degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration.” Continue reading
Check out my latest short story, “Three Acts for Kids,” published by the literary magazine Bridge Eight!
The Domestic Pruning Accord has been pruned.
We’re talking about it. Here’s an outline for a comprehensive plan that involves everyone doing their part. Sure, some of it may be naive, and almost none of it was my idea. But hear me out. Here’s what I think everyone can do to reduce gun violence nation-wide. Help me tweak this. Let’s crowdsource it. If the feedback is supportive enough, we just might send this suggestion on to politicians, pundits, preachers, parents, and peew-peew peddlers.
We can call it The Ballistic Pruning Accord
[Note: All listed measures are assumed to be taken voluntarily, except those taken by government authorities. In addition, this list does not include measures already taken in most areas, such as intruder drills and locked-door policies in public schools.]
