The New Age Solution |
 |
Humanism and New Age were all the rage in the 1970’s. But, I must confess; I am a cynic when it comes to depending upon the perfection of human beings. It’s not that people are trying to do bad, but that only God is perfect. I use four stories written by young authors to make my point. |

Hyper-Battle |
 |
...During that first day's battle, she virtually witnessed a missile rise up from the ocean and take out the British AWACS (airborne early warning and control system) that had been controlling the skies behind her. The data from that flying eyes in the sky were fed directly into Ronnie's TA-DACS, along with the radar imagery from every radar in the region. Tadakas then translated that information into an image in Ronnie's brain by the direct neural link, which allowed her to visualize the situation at processing speeds which exceeded what her biological eyes and ears could perceive. As a level-3 enhanced hyper-warrior, Tadakas could through symbiotic union, expand the objective two seconds for a cannon round to hit a target into fourteen subjective seconds, for her. Yet to her, the virtual reality inside of TA-DACS was just as real and just as much fact as any perception derived through her biological senses of reality; and it wasn't a game.
Ronnie, along with every other hyper-warrior connected to the Baltic Sea Matrix of the drift could see the AWACS try to evade the missile. Within fractions of a second, the AWACS filled the sky with chaff and flares, as it labored to misdirect the missile. Four of the plane's anti-missile missiles launched horizontally off their rails, but they couldn't reorient down fast enough...

I have been creating Graphics for the Government since 2013. Below are links to download and view my work:
This site contains my analytical commentary on a variety of contemporary issues that wander through my head and take up residence for months at a time. The analysis is usually multi-discipline weaving together elements that on the surface may appear to be unrelated. I break the rules of analysis by mixing the objective with anecdotal impressions. Here, format and punctuation take a back seat to the thought, and its relationship to people in the real world. Much of what I write is addressed to audiences that don't want to hear my opinion; but with the internet, I don't have to shut up.
I am an analyst who creates ideas. My boss pays me to create ideas for his business. However, sometimes I have ideas that my boss can't use. I hate to see good ideas go to waste. So, I'll hang them out here in case someone would like to use them.
Academia is critical of using references from pop-culture magazines and the internet for good reason. A truly credible professional journal is censored by gatekeepers who protect the standards of the discipline which the journal represents. Articles from pop-culture media are often single subject focused, without connective analysis. Too often they assert their relevance with emotional hype fostered as significant fact. Pop-culture journalists (including very credible news agencies) use such gimmicks to get their fifteen minutes of fame from the readership. Blogs are at the bottom of the factual or analytical ladder. Blogs have no standards of accuracy, and are almost totally opinion driven. As for truth (or fiction) all three have their place in the market of ideas; the readership just has to be leery of the context, and the agenda of the source. I just hope someone can find value in my thinking.

How Love is Learned |
 |
I've heard a lot said, by people with the best intentions, about what should be done to help children who are deemed to be, at risk; those children who are the products of dysfunctional or impoverished families. Such pundits seem to have their hearts in the right place, but have no concept of the magnitude or complexity of the problem.
I was one of those children. Thus, after watching the agony of emotional neglect that my little buddies, my brothers and sisters had to endure; after enduring that agony for myself, I have some very harsh thoughts on the subject. China is right; one child per couple! Being is a parent is a serious social responsibility that should require licensing. The risk of allowing the unqualified to have children is too great a burden to place on any child. Having a child is not a right, not a novelty, and not a cuddly puppy dog. The focus seems to revolve around what adults want, not about what children need. If you had endured what I had to go through, you wouldn't think that such preemptive risk mitigation is such an outlandish idea.

Walking Back to the Barracks |
 |
The sun seemed to sit high above the horizon as I left the dining facility and walked back to my barracks. It was spring time and the days were getting longer. For me the day was already long enough, and it was not over with yet. In the few private moments I had while I strolled down the side walk, I reflected on what had happened that day, and about my decision to go back into the Army. There were some doubts in my mind about coming back in. Was this the right choice?
After leaving the enlistment center in Los Angeles on Wednesday, I had flown to a training center in the Midwest. I arrived at the in-processing center on Thursday. Today, Friday was my second full day back in the Army after an almost two-year break in service to attend college.
Just coming out of civilian life, I was placed temporarily in a platoon filled with mostly first-time recruits. To guide this platoon through in-processing were two senior drill sergeants and a corporal. For the next week I received my comprehensive in-processing with this platoon of 114 new recruits.
