Inviting Terrorism

Posted on January 11, 2010 by D3 Support

Bullies don’t typically go after people who are physically weak. They go after people who see themselves as wrong, i.e., morally weak. That’s what’s happening right now with terrorism. Terrorism receded for a time after 9/11, but now it’s back, … Continue reading →

It’s Jobs, Stupid

Posted on January 10, 2010 by D3 Support

Unemployment is not going away. It might not be going up, either (at least at the moment), but it’s not going away. Panicked politicians are under pressure to “do something.” So let me get this straight. It’s up to government … Continue reading →

Truth Isn’t a Vote

Posted on January 9, 2010 by D3 Support

Most people form their opinions based on the conclusions of at least one, and usually two or more significant people. It’s as if someone else holding a viewpoint makes it valid or real, but until you find a person holding … Continue reading →

Be a Dreamer-Actor

Posted on January 8, 2010 by D3 Support

Take your dreams seriously. This means taking some action on your dream, almost every day. If your dream is capable of being realized, then you’ll see the progress that springs from action. If your dream is not possible to actualize, … Continue reading →

Competition

Posted on January 7, 2010 by D3 Support

Competition can absolutely be rational. I applaud the value of team sports, both for players and spectators. It’s an optional value, but definitely an objective value in life. People can compete for unhealthy or healthy reasons. You won’t likely know … Continue reading →

Magical Thinking Can’t Make Someone Think

Posted on January 6, 2010 by D3 Support

One form of “magical thinking” is the false belief that someone can “be stopped” from a self-destructive or self-defeating course. The magical thinking starts with the belief, “I should be able to stop him/her.” What follows is, “If I cannot … Continue reading →

Government Is Not Your Friend

Posted on January 5, 2010 by D3 Support

I read that banks are finding new ways to pass on costs to customers. Examples include higher annual fees on credit cards, elimination of “rewards” programs and the elimination of grace periods for late payments, even one-day grace periods. These … Continue reading →

The Variable that Psychiatry Forgot

Posted on January 4, 2010 by D3 Support

In less enlightened times, people assumed that mental and emotional distress — severe anxiety and depression, for example — had no cause, other than maybe supernatural. Today, it’s assumed that these are totally caused by brain chemistry. But has it … Continue reading →

Self-Esteem is for Thinkers

Posted on January 3, 2010 by D3 Support

The disappearance of certain sayings from our culture provides some insight as to why there’s so much wrong in the world today. One of these sayings is: Say what you mean and mean what you say. Basically, this refers to … Continue reading →

A Loser Even If He Wins

Posted on January 2, 2010 by D3 Support

I’m reading a lot about the Great Depression these days. One thing I read is that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the socialist/fascist of his time (as Obama and company are today), stayed popular even though the economy did not improve … Continue reading →

Rewriting History

Posted on January 1, 2010 by D3 Support

Sometimes people rewrite history. They do so after the end of a marriage, romantic relationship or friendship. Rewriting history, in the sense I’m talking about, means altering the facts to suit your new conclusions. It means leaving your own errors … Continue reading →

Whose Side Are You On, Obama?

Posted on December 31, 2009 by D3 Support

There are two aspects to fighting terrorism. One is police enforcement, and the other is foreign policy. The Bush administration could, at least, handle the police enforcement aspect. They could not handle foreign policy because they chose to appease, rather … Continue reading →
