Wasting Time

Posted on August 6, 2008 by D3 Support

The Blind Leading the Ignorant

Posted on August 5, 2008 by D3 Support

Dear Dr. Hurd: One thing you said specifically was “The next four years are going to be a time of enormous education for the American people.” Dr. Hurd, with all due respect–the American people didn’t learn under Andrew Jackson, they … Continue reading →

Smugness, Arrogance or Confidence?

Posted on August 4, 2008 by D3 Support

Self-esteem without critical thinking is nothing more than bravado, or arrogance. Barack Obama’s defenders claim that he’s “confident, not arrogant.” They’re correct that there’s such a distinction.

What Elections Have Become

Posted on August 2, 2008 by D3 Support

H.L. Mencken: “The state — or, to make matters more concrete, the government — consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they … Continue reading →

What Discipline Really Is

Posted on August 1, 2008 by D3 Support

Don’t Be a Hamlet

Posted on July 31, 2008 by D3 Support

The Nature of the Bully

Posted on July 29, 2008 by D3 Support

What’s So Bad About Profit?

Posted on July 28, 2008 by D3 Support

Free Will Means … To Think

Posted on July 27, 2008 by D3 Support

An “I Wish” Based Presidency

Posted on July 25, 2008 by D3 Support

Didn’t you just love the Obama “Gee, Look at Me, I’m a President!” tour? A lot of us can still grasp that wishing something doesn’t merely make it so. Yet, Obama is on his way to being Commander-in-Chief with not … Continue reading →
