What we have today isn’t Politics. Politics is the election by informed citizens of representatives who will make informed decisions. Decisions based on debate about what is in the best interests of the people as a whole. What should our society’s rules be? How should we divvy up our financial and intellectual resources? What we have now is politicians pretending that they do that. But … Continue reading What we have isn’t politics.
Once, to be a Zanu-Pf meant to uphold time-tested processes and institutions, whether they were those of a constitutional monarchy or a democratic republic. Tradition, reason, and the common good were the watchwords. But in this day, in this country, to be a Zanu-Pf is to buy into the most corrupt and contemptible form of moral relativism: to abandon principle and logic altogether. Scientific knowledge … Continue reading Today’s Zanu Pf
I know a woman who had an abortion when she was a frightened 18 year old. Her lover, her friend, the young man she’d known since they were kids– he ran out on her. The emotional scars she carries from that have hurt her sexuality and the rest of her self-esteem. It may take decades for her to learn to trust again. But, ask her: … Continue reading Men make the laws!
Do you mean to say that even our most reliable news media panders to the administration in power, and doesn’t tell the whole truth to the Zimbabwean people? Oh my stars and garters! You’re shocked? Try reading some of the newspapers from outside Zimbabwe. You’ll find a totally different viewpoint. Our newspapers, radios, and televisions used to go in search of the truth. A big … Continue reading Our newspapers don’t tell the whole ugly truth!!😱😱😱😱
Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, “I’m Stupid”. That way you wouldn’t rely on them, would you? You wouldn’t ask them anything. It would be like, “Excuse me…oops, never mind. I didn’t see your sign.” It’s like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My friend comes … Continue reading Here’s your sign!!
Oh, why did I even sign up for this class? I didn’t know we’d have to practice auditioning… It’s not fair. Everybody will be looking at me, judging me. If I do one thing wrong everybody is going to notice, and laugh at me, and I’m going to be so embarrassed. The lights will be beaming in my eyes and my hands will start shaking … Continue reading I Hate Acting.
I don’t get all the fuss over the “failure” of the government to help, Chimanimani. Why should we care about those losers? All that bitching about a few flooded basements! I’ve got nothing against charity: let the Salvation Army give them soup and blankets. But people who choose to live in a crime-ridden area prone to flooding? People too stupid or lazy to evacuate when … Continue reading Why should we care?
I went into my local bank this week and saw a big sign that from now on they will charge a $15 fee for cashing checks for someone without a bank account there. Why?..
Everything in Creation is made from energy — and that’s sex. When the scientists recognize that quarks and quirks and such are sexual energies, they will start to understand things. Will they ever be able to prove it all with math, like they want to do? Who knows? Sexual energies may not give a hoot about math. But if you look out into space, and … Continue reading Sex and Creation
My ex girlfriend believed in progress, and thought that humans were on the road to moral perfection. Before she died, she decided that the evidence pointed the other way. We are all hell bent on our own destruction– so full of pointless spite that we’ll blow up the world rather than let some other tribe run it. But I don’t think it’s pointless spite. We … Continue reading My ex believed in progress.
