Star Date 20190309

"Star Date 20190309 - Captain's Personal Log:" That’s what Captain Kirk used to say before talking to his computer.   As he spoke, the computer would record his words, which I suspect would be used in a court of law should he be unjustly accused of violating the civil rights of an illegal alien landing on …

Giving Up Is Easy – Don’t

As a rule I shy away from political commentary. Most people have a set thought process on politics and no amount of articulated persuasion will change their minds.
