The Right to Own a Gun: More Than the Right to Own a Gun

…a gun, or particularly want to use one. That’s not the point. The point is freedom. Either you have the freedom to do what it takes to defend your life, or you don’t. If we’re to outlaw guns because they could hurt somebody, then on the same premise we must outlaw anything that could be used to hurt another. Where does it end, and why does it start? Some people say only an anarchist would permit people to own guns. The Founders of America’s Consti… Continue reading

They get a free ride by not having to pay taxes while the rest of us do, all because they call themselves “liberal” and “diverse”. That’s a different t… Continue reading

Being “Caught Up” Is Not Always the Solution

…rs. You achieved nothing but stress for all your rage and anxiety. Those unrealistic compulsions can arise from the inability to live in the moment. When I suggest to people that they reduce their stress by spending more time living in (and enjoying) the moment, their reaction is often, “I can’t do that. I’ll be disorganized! I’ll get behind!” Wrong. People often tell me they’re amazed that I get all the things done with my full-time practice, dai… Continue reading

Is Humility A Sign of Good Mental Health? (DE Wave)

…; you cannot control or change other people. It’s not humility, but simply realistic to accept these hard facts. They’re not really flaws or limitations; they’re just facts – metaphysically given truths nobody can change.
