Sympathize with Arizona? Here’s How to Help!

by silverwun May 13, 2010

This is addressed to my California neighbors. But if the shoe fits…. If you sympathize with what Arizonans have chosen to do, you are in the comfortable, growing majority. Boycotts are only effective when they enjoy majority support; especially if that majority is econmoically influential. Politically influential groups in a few places like Los Angeles [...]

Welcome to California!

by silverwun April 28, 2010

*NEWS FLASH* Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos’ corrupt, economically oppressive oligarchy that so embitters the existence of it’s poorest people that they choose to risk their lives by breaking United States laws in order to overcome dire poverty for themselves and their families, is cautioning Mexico’s citizens who are contemplating illegal visits to ‘use extreme caution’ [...]

The Band is Playing and Arizona is Leading. Anybody Want to Dance?

by silverwun April 25, 2010

The State of Arizona has apparently been designated a ‘rallying point’ by those who are in opposition to new legislation that has become law there. The support by citizens of that sovereign state is very strong. Whether or not this particular tool of enforcement aimed at reducing the illegal population is found to be Constitutional, [...]

A Compromising Confusion

A venomous contemporary political atmosphere has caused many to pronounce the ‘art of compromise’ dead. It is actually alive and well due in part to built-in ambiguity. In political terms, the art of double entendre will always assure frequent employment of compromise, one way or the other. Recent bribes and special treatment offered out of [...]

The Gods aren’t Crazy. Our Impotence Has Them Rolling on the Floor with Laughter

An issue of public safety and arguably domestic security goes ignored at all levels by politicians; save rhetoric about building more prisons and raising criminal penalties that don’t end up being imposed anyway. We desperately need to require prosecution of all de-facto accessories to repeat violent offenses. This would include judges, parole board members and [...]

“Our children are our future. Someday, they will be in charge of us. So, please be kind to the little bastards!” The Book of SilverWun 1:2 That was written as a twist on other similar cautions like ‘they’ll’ choose your nursing home.’ Our parents and grandparents put my generation in debt.  We were taught about how [...]

There is a new infusion of universal distaste for both political parties and their stranglehold on our government as minions of special interests. Our time hosts a return of distaste for blatant corruption and political cronyism that is reminiscent of a noble minded yet failed movement of the ‘Gilded Age.’ The term Mugwump was applied [...]

An Enigmatic American Myth

by silverwun November 14, 2009

‘To be considered black in the United States not even half of one’s ancestry must be African black. But will one-fourth do, or one-eighth, or less? The nation’s answer to the question ‘Who is black?” has long been that a black is any person with any known African black ancestry. This definition reflects the long [...]

Whipping Boys Are Back in Fashion. Oh, goody!

by silverwun November 2, 2009

While watching National news and the goings on in New York, New Jersey and Virginia yesterday, it dawned on me that state level politicians kind of parallel ‘whipping boys.’ For those who might be unfamiliar with the whipping boy system, I’ll try to cover it briefly. Ages ago in a world ruled by monarchs and [...]

Orthodoxy of Artifice

by silverwun October 27, 2009

From “Inherit the Wind” ‘Gentlemen, progress has never been a bargain. You’ve got to pay for it. Sometimes I think there’s a man behind a counter who says ‘All right, you can have a telephone; but you’ll have to give up privacy and the charm of distance. Madam, you may vote; but at price; you [...]

Two Dangerous Ideological Enemies of Freedom. One Left & One Right

by silverwun October 26, 2009

Democratic process for selecting representatives forces candidates to claim ‘Best interests of the poeple’ as their motivation for seeking delegated power. They do their best to convince voters of this noble dedication or lose. Since the activity of seeking power is in itself egocentric, displaying a wish for a job that carries authority over others, [...]

Proximity of Launches to ‘Day of Atonement’ Was No Accident

by silverwun October 1, 2009

Our press made little to no note of something that the Israelis didn t miss in connection with the recent launch of missiles for ‘˜testing by Iran. It was the ‘in your face’ timing. By obvious proximity to the Yom Kippur ‘˜day of atonement Iran is boldly telling all who can read symbolism exactly what [...]
