Bitcoin’s Fatal Flaw? — The Blockchain.

Can Crypto Survive Fascism? We’re told someone named Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin. Truth or tale doesn’t matter. Neither does it matter how much you know about crypto. We’ll cover the basics. And — so you know where I’m coming from, I own crypto and derivatives, so I have skin in this game. I don’t…

The World’s Messiest Divorce?

Our first divorce was bad. This one looks worse. We’ve been here before. Our last few hundred years have been interesting, and accurately comparing where we started life as a country with where we are now should leave us proud. But about half of us aren’t — proud, or happy with our past or present. Social division isn’t a new thing. Apart from…

Unspeakable Truths

Some Truths They Won’t Let You Share Long ago (before most of you were born), in a galaxy far, far away (yet to be completely conquered by Boeing and McDonalds), when I was still a newbie, not recognizing Briar Rabbit, my employers tossed me into Earth’s briar patch. They paid me (YES, PAID ME!) to wander around…

Armed America — Part 2 — The κρατερός Archipelago

The Coming Storm. — The storm darkening our horizon is the most dangerous any living American has seen, and unless we change course, America as we know her is finished. In the months since our last mass shooting I’ve been to town halls and listened to Congressman and others pledge their opposition to any and all red-flag laws…no red flags — period! — to thunderous applause. …

Armed America — Part 1 — Catch-.223

Does this gun make you crazy? — Years ago a friend screened a trailcam video for me. It showed a bear snoozing in the woods as an ATV and rider approached. I steeled myself for what I assumed would be a tragedy. …

“Wild Rose” — Three Chords and the (Small) Truth

A small film about little people that will leave you smiling. — Every once in awhile someone makes a film that’s not about radioactive superpowers, royal court treachery, wars won or lost, civilizations destroyed, dying planets and monstrous profits. And every once in awhile a film like that gets distribution and people get to see it. “Wild Rose” is almost that. Critics…

Beck’s Latest Bobble

Was the dumbest man on radio right about Iraq? — Talk radio doesn’t promote brilliance. Its standard format straps stars to their microphones three hours a weekday, and if those stars didn’t speak until they had something brilliant to say, we’d likely be stuck listening to fifteen hours of dead air each week, broken up by commercials for which soon…
