This article does not argue for or against abortion. It only examines the pro-choice claim that a pregnant woman has or should have total jurisdiction over her unborn child including the right to abort it at will, because she “own” the fetus as part of her body.

Chicken Licken was a chicken
All afraid to take a lickin’
From the global atmosphere.
“Guess, I have to leave from here.
I must find a safer spot
Where things will not get so hot.”
COVID 19 – Obedience Training for Renitent Citizens
In one of my earlier articles, I have argued that collectivism (socialism/communism) needs globalism and global governance, because it cannot successfully compete with free-market capitalism. While capitalist market economy and the associated free and open democratic society are based on self-motivated, productive, and greedy individuals pursuing their happiness and accepting inequity as the inevitable downside of individual liberty, collectivist models focus on government as the source of everything, a centralized planned command economy with safety and equity as the core values, and accept the loss of liberty and freedom – except, of course, for the ruling elite, which always exempts itself form its own rules and restrictions.

Corrupt our Voting System – Destroy our Democracy
With the mid-term elections coming up in November 2022, I wonder what we can expect. Will the voting system be fair and legal? Or will the system be corrupted to the point where those win, who cheat the most? Or worse, will the Democrats “reform” the voting laws to make all the cheating legal?

How I became a citizen of the land of the free and the home of the brave – oh boy!
n 1973, I worked as a visiting scholar at Harvard’s Botanical Museum. My host, Professor Richard Evans Schultes, occasionally invited me to dine with him in the teachers’ dining room, where on one occasion I sat next to Professor Kenneth Galbraith’s table and a cross-table conversation developed between Schultes, a conservative, and Galbraith, a liberal. What I got to hear from Galbraith was pure neo-Marxist ideology and should have been a warning for me and a harbinger of things to come.
Continue readingA Brief History of Slavery
When we talk about slavery, we mostly mean the enslavement of Africans in America between approximately 1500 (arrival of first African slaves in North America) and 1865 (13th Amendment) – a period of approximately 365 years. However, slavery is one of mankind’s oldest institutions and America was a latecomer to it. Since our history is regrettably one of domination and subjugation it is probably safe to assume that slavery goes back into Neolithic times, when one group would raid the habitation of another group, kill most, and make the survivors slaves.

Some Thoughts about Race and Prejudice
The definitions of species and race apply to humans, animals, and plants alike. The fewer characteristics make up a race, the weaker its identity and stability as a set. Races can change or even disappear when they mix with other races. If the defining characteristics become too few or only one, like e.g. skin color, the concept of ‘race’ becomes absurd.
Continue readingWho is a Native?
The word ‘native’ is derived from the Latin verb ‘nati’ = ‘to be born’. ‘nati’ is a semi-deponence, i.e. a verb that exists only in the passive voice. Makes sense, doesn’t it? After all, being born is the most passive act you ever perform in your life. A ‘native’ to a certain place would seem to be a person who was born in that certain place. Accordingly, if you were born in e.g. Columbia NC you can call yourself a native of that town. But the common use of the term goes beyond this narrow meaning. American Indians call themselves “Native Americans” or “indigenous” and the non-European Australians are called “aborigines” with the connotation that they, i.e. their predecessors, ancestors, forefathers were all born in America or Australia or at least on the American or Australian continents. . .
Continue reading5 = 1: From Dead-End to Portal
In one of my earlier contributions I tried to show that and how rational thinking leads to irrational thinking. Here now, I would like to show the opposite. I will prove to you that 1 = 5 and then show you how this seeming nonsense can make a lot of sense. . .
Continue readingSanta Claus and Culture War
Since religion is so deeply engrained in our culture and society and since our nation was partly founded on the quest for religious freedom, it is difficult for the enemies of religion to attack it frontally and direct. But attack it they must because they are mostly Marxist atheist materialists who believe that religion is “opium for the people” and that theirs is the only true worldview. And because they realize that religion is the main road block on the road to their totally just utopian society: Communism. Hence, they attack religion indirectly using mainly two tactics: they try to remove religion from public life and they try to profane and secularize religion, currently mainly the Christian religion. . .
