A Manifesto of Peopolism
A Manifesto of Peopolism [pronounced {pee-ah-pol-ism}] For too long, humanity has boxed themselves into outdated and antiquated -isms that were created to describe different times, different strategies, and different human conditions than those which exist today. The -isms of yesterday are no longer useful – and in some cases have been proven to be deadly…
An Open Letter to America’s Billionaires – Change Humanity’s Future
Dear Billionaires, I’ve done my best to join you, but so far – I haven’t even gotten close. The reason I’ve tried wasn’t because I want to be a rich guy with a big swimming pool and a fancy car collection. Nor is it that I want any of the other trappings of wealth and…
Sociopathism – American Capitalism is a Serious Problem
Lobsters generally don’t know the water around them is getting hotter until it is too late. Look, I admire entrepreneurship. I think that the marketplace of ideas and products is a wonderful thing. I am a firm believer in the idea that if you work hard, make sacrifices, and tread carefully – you should be…

Valentines – I’ve been married 10 years and didn’t even like this holiday before I was married. Now, it’s just a game of gauging expectation and…
Attending a Gun Show and Having My Expectations Shattered
I attended a gun show as a vendor this weekend. I don’t own any guns so I wasn’t selling those – I was selling knives and fishing gear. I wasn’t really sure what to expect at the gun show – I’ve never been to one. Here’s what I thought it would be: survivalists, right wing…
The Obscenity of Borders and Walls
Borders and walls are artificial constructs created primarily as control systems for the population within them, rather than, as is popularly suggested to protect said population from without. Think about it for a second. Who makes borders? Governments. Where do governments get their economic ability to create force and restrict freedom? From collecting taxes. Where…
