240 – A View of the Future of America
Recent events provide a view of what we can expect in America’s near future. Sadly it seems that future is quite dystopian. It appears one of the most relevant questions for today is, are we living in Orwell’s 1984 or Huxley’s Brave New World?

239 – New York Internment Camps?
Having lived most of my life in the Empire State and still having friends and family there, I found Assembly Bill 416 (A.416) to be more than just disturbing, I found it both frightening and disgusting.

There is a story about a man who propositioned a women with $1,000,000 to spend one night with her. She agreed. Then the man acknowledged that he did not have $1,000,000 and asked if she would spend the night with him for just $100? When she asked what kind of woman he thought she was, the man replied, “We both know what kind of woman you are. Now we’re just haggling over price.”
It appears the politicians in Washington, D.C. know what kind of people most American citizens are. Now, they’re just haggling over price.
