Is Homosexuality Normal?

Let me first say that I personally do not care how consenting adults have sexual pleasure with each other. I think this is entirely their private affair and should not be censored by society or regulated by law. What consenting adult people do in their private homes is exclusively their business as long as it is not incestuous, does not violate the rights of others, and does not involve minors or animals who are both incapable of informed consent.

How to turn a free-market capitalist society into the collectivist authoritarian New World Order: A brief manual for aspiring dictators

You start by brainwashing at least two generations of young citizens into believing that equality, equity, and security are more important values than liberty, freedom, and competition. This is readily accomplished by the teachers and professors of the enlightened education system, which will produce snowflakes that are afraid of their own shadow and demand to be protected and supported by the government.

Fetal Slavery

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.

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.

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.

A 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.

Who 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. . .
