I occasionally receive e-mails from readers who take issue with my stance against teacher terrorism. However, even I am surprised by how few negative responses I get. In fact, I have been overwhelmed by e-mails from readers who are in agreement with most, if not all, of what I have to say. And usually it’s […]

I promised to keep reminding you of the dangers to your health, wealth, and happiness if you allow yourself to fall into the trap of accepting a priori arguments as a basis for your actions.

So here we are again, trying to make sense out of senseless tragedy, tragedy made even more horrific by the fact that most of the victims were small children.

Most men speak of their mothers as angels, and in that regard I guess I’m not unique.

Modern-day feminists would have been horrified by Mom’s lifestyle. Her day-to-day world consisted primarily […]

As I was enjoying the Christmas weekend, I was struck by the onslaught of tragedies that flashed across my television screen. A helicopter carrying a heart surgeon and procurement technician crashed in Florida, killing both men and the pilot of the aircraft.

Whenever someone famous died, my dad used to say, “The Grim Reaper just keeps mowing ‘em down, one by one.” Simply put, but accurate. And this past week, the Grim Reaper was working overtime. In a harsh one-two combination, he took the lives of two living legends, Steve Jobs and Al Davis. What was eerie […]
