Give Me Your I!

Posted on April 1, 2008 by d3admin

“People who trust in themselves and in their own merits are, as it were, blinded by their own ‘I,’ and their hearts harden in sin.” –Pope Benedict XVI My reply: It takes an “I” to cure cancer, to engage in … Continue reading →

Decisions, Emotions

Posted on March 31, 2008 by d3admin

An emotion is a decision after the fact. You don’t decide to have an emotion, but its very presence in your psyche is proof that some thinking has already taken place that you can either choose to embrace–or choose to … Continue reading →

Getting What She Deserves

Posted on March 30, 2008 by d3admin

I will be truly shocked if Hillary Clinton drops out of the presidential race any time soon. I believe that she views the Presidency–much less the Democratic nomination–as her entitlement. I suspect she’s hurt and confused, because her constituency consists … Continue reading →

Voluntary Mandates

Posted on March 29, 2008 by d3admin

I keep hearing Republicans propose the same things as Democrats for the economy–only on a “voluntary” basis. Let’s get real here. The minute a government official or presidential candidate says, “You business people better get together and serve the public … Continue reading →

It Takes a Choice

Posted on March 29, 2008 by d3admin

“Everything happens for a reason” implies that Someone Else is governing all that happens in your life. However, choice is inescapable. It takes a choice to look at something as happening for a reason. Actually, it’s not that Someone Else … Continue reading →

News Flash: Reality Is Your Friend!

Posted on March 28, 2008 by d3admin

I don’t believe in mystical devils and possessions. But I do believe in their real-life equivalents. People actually create their own demons. No, they don’t mean to do so–but they still do. How? Mainly by refusing to face facts in … Continue reading →

Those Who Can, Reason; Those Who Can’t, Insult

Posted on March 26, 2008 by d3admin

Those who have arguments provide facts, along with conclusions. Those who have none, provide insults. Matching insults with insults doesn’t prove you grasp the truth. It doesn’t do justice to the truth. It only shows you have no arguments, either. … Continue reading →

Why Self-Reflection Matters

Posted on March 25, 2008 by d3admin

Awareness makes honesty possible. Self-honesty is critical. You will not tell the truth to others unless you’re in the habit of telling the truth to yourself. Yet to be honest about the truth, you must be aware of the truth. … Continue reading →

All Politics Is Theft

Posted on March 24, 2008 by d3admin

I wish that instead of arguing for tax cuts, conservatives would argue for restoration of a free-market economy, across-the-board. First of all, they have nothing to lose. Liberalism is on the rise, though only by default, and even the Republican … Continue reading →

The Folly of Cynicism

Posted on March 23, 2008 by d3admin

Q: Dear Dr. Hurd: In today’s culture, it is easy to be cynical. How can one not succumb to cynicism while simultaneously not being naive to the negativity or ulterior motives of people? A: The term “cynicism” implies a departure … Continue reading →

Permit Your Child to Have a Mind

Posted on March 22, 2008 by d3admin

Children cannot always be reasoned with, it’s true. But this is no excuse for a parent to take a shortcut and refuse to apply reason with a child. With a fellow adult, you would give your reasons in an attempt … Continue reading →

The Limits of Celebrity

Posted on March 14, 2008 by d3admin

The popularity of Barack Obama is not an indicator of the triumph of “liberal,” socialist ideas. Those ideas, while discredited, win by default because nobody will stand up for any credible alternative, even though such alternatives exist. Obama’s rise was … Continue reading →
