One of my major lines of research has been the scientific control and manipulation of human beings, and the Eugenics movement is one of the most perfect examples I've found. The overlap between good intentions and nightmare consequences is highly instructive.… Continue

“Boycotts: How to regain public control the United States of America”
When I joined the fray of political interest one of the things I soon decided to work for was “To bring an end to professional politics”.

In our current monetary system someone will always hire political candidates. We only see…
In 2008, the Supreme Court of the United States decided Kennedy v. Louisiana. In that decision, the Court created a new categorical right to rape a child without receiving the death penalty.
Although the majority made mention of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment," no one really believed that this new right had any basis in the Constitution.

As President Obama accepts a Peace Prize he does not deserve, it's a good time to model what real… Continue
