Shouldn’t We Aim For 50% Unemployment? Then, 60%? Then, More?

We all find some satisfaction with what we do. If we try to do our jobs better, we will be happy. The “snake” in that particular garden is automation. In the late 1700s, 80 or 90 out of every hundred people were in the food production business. Now, one person in a hundred produces enough […]

Our Search for Truth

It may be that some liars actually are “congenital”, due to some pre-natal stress that causes deep damage to their being. But, their numbers are so small as to be statistically insignificant. The Loving Programmer wrote our individual programs and had them downloaded at conception. Those programs gave us each an affinity towards truth. Most […]

Never Vote for Faddists

A few years ago, the gun control fad had reached it’s high. Every big-city mayor, Democratic governors, and the liberals throughout the Federal Government agreed: guns must be controlled, if not confiscated. More recently, the drive for gun control misfired. Now, a sizable majority of Americans understand that owning firearms offers protection. Public opinion on […]

Part of Today’s Reading, Luke 13:31-35, is an Important History Lesson.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling!” This passage tells us that the political establishment built around the Temple at Jerusalem had, since the Prophets, been […]

The Attack on Taxpayers Begins With Destroying Their Courage

From their earliest days in the government schools, children are carefully taught not to question teachers, the first people in the World-Wide Bureaucracy with whom they come in contact. Properly educating young people is important to the WWB. Those in charge of it remember well that, once in a while, there are revolutions that limit […]

If Polar Bears had Pistols

They would shoot and eat far more Eskimos than they do. If they had sniper rifles, they’d be able wipe out whole villages and devour the residents. Assuming for the moment that polar bears could shoot, and were able to make coordinated attacks on Eskimo villages, it would soon be illegal to sell weapons to […]

Today’s Reading & Catholic Fundamentalism

The Reading begins with Romans, 8;18: “For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God; for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in […]

The Importance of Keeping Our Minds Clean

Viruses live in the pits of our minds.  Nests of the Seven Tribes of Viruses, Pride, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Anger, Lust, and Sloth send out individual viruses to corrupt our own, human programs whenever we give them an opening. We provide entry for them when we let ourselves begin thinking sinful thoughts. Those thoughts are […]

Marxists & Mohammedans

Those who adhere to the teachings of Marx and Mohammed have characteristics in common. 1. Marxists and Mohammedans are ready, willing, and eager to kill those who disagree with them. 2. Both groups excel at organizing the disaffected, firing them up against magnified enemies, arming them, and overthrowing those people and institutions who keep them […]

The Shape of the Soul

A hardened sinner’s soul is as slick, clean, and hard as a billiard ball.  Each sin shrinks it, until its slick, shiny essence finally falls through the cracks.  It lands among the tormenters in the basement. The Loving Programmer has no way to pick up a soul that refuses to be grasped.  He cannot, according […]
