“My fellow Americans, we must never, ever believe that our diversity is a weakness — it is our greatest strength.”
William Jefferson Clinton, State of the Union 1997
Twelve years after this insidious slogan was uttered and accepted by our obliviot voting population, the contrary results continue to reveal themselves. Maybe it is more accurate to look [...]

Diversity our greatest liability
Economy better off with less people
While there aren’t necessarily less people in the U.S. than in recent years, there are less people working and there is less spending. Under this scenario, the following report came as a surprise for many people:
Stocks continued to move higher and the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a new 2009 intraday high Monday, extending a [...]
Feeding the world causes more starving people
Feeding the hungry poor does not end hunger, but instead expands the quantity of poor and hungry. When is our good intentioned stupidity going to stop paving this freeway to hell?
Band Aid was a British and Irish charity supergroup, founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for famine relief in [...]
Overpopulation Still Taboo For Most
There are many people – some of them well-respected scientists – who have been talking about overpopulation for decades.
Dr. Albert Bartlett, even Isaac Asimov – intelligent men who see through our complex social structure and boil it down to the simplest form, so it can be seen for what it is.
Most people in modern society [...]
Global warming controversy is a problem
Whether it even exists, and if it does, whether the cause is anthrogenic, solargenic, tectonic/volcanic/geological or a combination, global warming has long occupied center stage.
This effect is simply another error, perhaps orchestrated or accidental, created by our liberal democracy, with its oppositional polarizing process forcing important topics into a false dichotomy or other unrealistic position.
Thus, [...]
Why conservatives are doomed
American conservative thinking has overwhelmed most of the world’s conservative parties. Their idea is to base intense patriotism on the idea that we’re “free,” and can do whatever we want as individuals, and use that to justify caring about social order.
Ultimately what conservatives are trying to argue toward is that the society as a whole [...]
The climate change elephant in the room
Humans are funny. Because we are personalities that control the mind and body, we view the world through the same filter, and tend to defer to authority even if it’s incompetent — so long as it leaves us alone.
No obligation to others means we’re just fine pretending we’re solitary hunter-gatherers, even if we depend [...]
Self-pity and Darwin
Our society is very fond of the idea that we are enlightened. We are scientific, progressive, compassionate humanity.
Underneath this veneer of nice, the usual manipulations go on for personal profit — which is the underlying theme of humanity in every age: sacrifice the self for the whole, or sacrifice the whole for the self.
However, [...]
The problem is the Crowd
We all like the idea of society just taking care of us because it sounds good like the products Billy Mays used to sell. Life can be scary — heck, it’s always scary to know at the end we die and probably go nowhere — and sometimes it sounds good to have them take care [...]
How it got this bad
Always seeking new blogs to read, since forums are defunct and etexts are of things published long ago, I found this insightful little excerpt:
Few want to face the fact that the world is in a bad way, even less offer anything of value, just the usual new “green” initiative which will sustain life and prolong [...]
