Humanizing
The USA has a troubling history of dehumanizing people. Tribal people weren’t seen as human at all. African slaves were 3/5 of a person. Jewish, German, Irish, Italian, and Japanese citizens faced prejudice that dehumanized them. Today Muslims aren’t fully welcome as equal citizens and unborn children are in many places not considered humans at…

Scientific Determinism
There are some brilliant scientific minds that assert that I do not have a choice about anything.

Me and the Boys
Stephanie is taking a sabbatical this weekend. She is at the Cave of the Mound to be inside the earth. She is probably communing with Heavenly Mother tonight. The boys and I are doing alright without her. The past few times she’s gotten out of the house overnight without us have been in the hospital.…
