Revamping the Broken US Education System

Talking with a teacher friend of mine this weekend provided great insight into a clearly broken system. As background, recall that the current US public educational system stems from the efforts of devoted self proclaimed democratists Horace Mann and John Dewey. As Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, Mann championed the idea of “commonContinue reading “Revamping the Broken US Education System”

A Comparative Analysis of the Law of Two States

This morning I had the luxury of time and picked up two of my neglected periodicals, the Colorado Lawyer and The Florida Bar Journal. Reading through these side by side, which I rarely do, was an instructive experience that highlighted the difference between my two states of bar licensure. One difference between the states is thatContinue reading “A Comparative Analysis of the Law of Two States”

A Thoughtful Discourse on Abortion

Abortion is not or should not be a political issue. It has become so as the result of some positive evolutions, including the freedoms of women and the technological and medical ability to keep even very premature babies alive outside of the mother. Unwanted pregnancy has always existed. In former times it was dealt withContinue reading “A Thoughtful Discourse on Abortion”

On Energy ☀️💨⛽️

I have three comments on the current hyperactivity on moving toward different energy sources. 1. We should wait until we have actual reasonable workable alternatives. 2. We need to remember that all energy has a source…electricity to power electric cars still must be sourced from other energy. 3. It is immoral to require people toContinue reading “On Energy ☀️💨⛽️”

On Germs and the Constitution

I really appreciate the point highlighted in the book The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F. Kennedy., Jr.: The founding fathers were well aware of the ravaging effect epidemics of disease can cause, familiar with smallpox and malaria slaying their troops. Yet…they refused to include in our Constitution an exception allowing for the suspension ofContinue reading “On Germs and the Constitution”

Wisdom 💬💎

The South wanted slaves to count as full persons for voting purposes. The North wanted them to count as 3/5. Is this because the North thought less of blacks than the South? No. It is because the North was so against slavery they wanted the practice to end. Counting slaves as full persons would haveContinue reading “Wisdom 💬💎”

a little about a LOT

I love this podcast where one of my favorite commentators, Ben Shapiro, calls out the reliance upon an elite expert class. Shapiro is always so wise and witty. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0lkPW2R35RUv1EDpCvAZbi?si=93CL-7P2TASClr0E2AciKA When I left my full time legal career to stay at home with my first baby which turned into five babies over the next 7 years,Continue reading “a little about a LOT”

Sticks & Stones

I love to listen to The Message version of The Holy Bible app first thing in the morning. I know my Mom would not approve because to her the only true Word of God was the King James, but even though I have read the Bible several times through I still gain so many newContinue reading “Sticks & Stones”

Thoughts on the Tuskegee and Holocaust Experiments, Experimental Vaccines and the First Amendment

Do you recall the Tuskegee Syphillis Experiment/“Study”? It was a project that spanned 1932-72 wherein a group of poor black men with syphillis were observed and told they were being treated for “bad blood”. No informed consent was obtained and they were not provided with the treatment of the day which toward the end ofContinue reading “Thoughts on the Tuskegee and Holocaust Experiments, Experimental Vaccines and the First Amendment”
