When Friends Don’t Do What You Want

Posted on June 20, 2008 by D3 Support

Half a Right Is No Right

Posted on June 16, 2008 by D3 Support

Q: What exactly goes through the minds of people who rationalize an unwritten “social contract” to justify having to pay taxes and such? It’s quite obnoxious having that same useless drivel brought up again and again whenever I get into … Continue reading →

Conflict–Not So Bad?

Posted on June 15, 2008 by D3 Support

Avoiding conflict is never a rational motive, and never leads to a “safe” choice. People lie to avoid conflict. In the process, they do damage to themselves and eventually to others they intended to protect, when the lie is exposed. … Continue reading →

Stubborn

Posted on June 12, 2008 by D3 Support

Persistence is what you exhibit when you know you’re right, why you’re right, and why you have no choice but to stand firm. Stubbornness is when you feel right, you’re not sure why, but you’re sure not going to let … Continue reading →

Lies and White Lies

Posted on June 11, 2008 by D3 Support

There IS a Point to Not Voting

Posted on June 10, 2008 by D3 Support

Q: Dr. Hurd, I agree with you that the choice for President is terrible. I want greater freedom and individual rights in both the personal and economic realm, and I want a strong, principled defense against terrorism. But I’m voting … Continue reading →

Race Giveth, Race Taketh Away

Posted on June 10, 2008 by D3 Support

Racism doesn’t mean hatred of a particular race. Racism means elevating race to a higher status than it deserves. Just as Obama will no doubt have anti-black racists voting against him, he already has sizable numbers of people voting FOR … Continue reading →

Earn Your Certainty

Posted on June 9, 2008 by D3 Support

The next time you feel uncertain, don’t leap to: “Who can tell me what to do?” Instead, ask yourself, “What do I already know?” Then: “What remains unknown?” Next, focus on how to best answer the questions you don’t know–for … Continue reading →

A Nation Missing in Action

Posted on June 7, 2008 by D3 Support

America’s original leaders promised–and delivered–on creating a society in which everyone was both free and responsible for pursuing his own interests.

How to Spot Confidence

Posted on June 5, 2008 by D3 Support

Those with confidence and certainty, think and act. Those lacking confidence and certainty, denounce and manipulate. Confidence comes from the habitual use of one’s mind in a rational, sensible way. Angry, humorless moralism comes from a mind in the habit … Continue reading →

Is Lying an Illness?

Posted on June 4, 2008 by D3 Support

Is lying a mental disorder–or a choice? Lying is essentially a choice. However, it can become so ingrained and automatic that it no longer functions in the person’s mind—nor seems to outsiders—as a conscious choice. But it still started as … Continue reading →

Obama’s Rules of Engagement

Posted on June 3, 2008 by D3 Support

“You have nothing to say to us.” “You have nothing to say to us. We object. We do not agree to a relationship with you! We are not prepared to establish relations with powerful world devourers like you! The Iranian … Continue reading →
