I must confess my ignorance to the fact that the “Great Reverse Migration” of blacks from northern cites to their “homes” in the southern United States began many years earlier than I thought. It was my uneducated assumption that the trend began in the mid to late 1990s. A little research revealed that as early as the mid 1970s, blacks were moving back to the South in large numbers.

Many cultures believe that the spirit of the dead passes into the afterlife through some magical activity. The dance is one of the most expressive forms of conjuring up the spirit in religious rituals.

It seems that most believe in a force that is capable of creating the universe and all we see in space and within our environment. The question is why would it be a man-like creature that is restricted to an area above the earth and over which man has control?

The name Jesus has been around for millennium but only now is it realised how it was used to invent Jesus Christ. This image was invented by Constantine who established the Roman Catholic Church and used it as a false god that would not impede his authority.

“But what is in a name? Plenty, if you happen to carry the indignity of being labeled ‘Nakusa’ from your cradle, as this little girl and her elder cousin found. Meaning ‘unwanted’, the names of these two girls of Shankarwada, in Satara district, are a reflection of just how low in esteem the girl child is held in many parts of India.” “A further survey in the Satara district, carried out through the anganwadi workers, revealed that there were at least 222 girls up to the age of 16, with the same name in 5 blocks in that particular district.” Can you wrap your mind around that? 222 girls with the name ‘Nakusa’, meaning unwanted! Wow! Imagine having within your name the feeling that was associated with your birth; to carry with you every day. Every time somebody calls you by your name, you are reminded that you are an unwanted child. The article goes on to say how the health officer there, Mr. Pawar, began to change the concept. He tried to have a re-christening service for these girls and managed to have a day when a lot of them changed their names.

The word “bigot” gets thrown around all the time in politics, and in many cases it is wrongly placed. I got accused of being a bigot when I suggested that peaceful Muslim-Americans should report those Muslim-Americans who intend terrorist action. This is not bigotry, it is reason.

One of my friends, who recently told his dad that he loves a girl and wants to get married to her had to face his dad’s wrath. WHY? Because she did not belong to his caste!

There exists an idea, in the minds of an increasingly large portion of the global population, that humanity’s progress has reached a milestone of greater importance than all others combined. Mankind is in a position, technologically and evolutionarily, to allow us all to bask in the wonderment of being part of a society that can and will create anything it can imagine. The term, “science fiction,” may be a misnomer much sooner than anyone had ever anticipated. Though this may be a frightening proposition for some, others have allowed their imaginations to ponder the reality that exists just beyond our grasp, in a place that Vernor Vinge calls, “The Singularity.”

The valley of the Gualcarque River is a naturalist’s paradise. A walk down the only road toward the site of the proposed Agua Zarca dam and power plant offers the assurance that a look in any direction will yield a view more spectacular than the last. This is a land of perpetual green where every little shrouded ravine reveals a rivulet of sparkling clear water hidden under leaves that can often be measured in feet. Brilliantly colored tropical birds flit through heavily laden Mango trees above an undergrowth of Moras dripping with fruit, and an uncommonly odd insect or two dropping in for a free lunch.

With the chaos of war and the threat of new conflicts looming it is likely that the world is coming to an end as prophesied in the Old Testament. If true the prediction states that a noise will come to the end of the earth because of a great controversy. It is very likely that it will involve the removal of heaven and hell as destinies for the dead.

In recent studies, two out of three people in the United States have been found to score high on the narcissistic personality disorder. The real-life meaning of this is that this disorder is, for all intents and purposes, meaningless. If the majority of the population has a disorder, then it is no longer a disorder.

Many people detest political correctness, but there have not been enough credible arguments made against it. I have given thought to the matter and came up with rational refutations of some of their central claims. I do so as someone who fully supports women’s rights – both to safety at home and a fulfilling life outside the home – but recognizes that, in order to regain viability, feminism needs to change course from political correctness and into a movement that actually benefits women.
