Reflections on American Culture: A Veteran's Perspective
Homosexuality and Christianity
This subject can be very sensitive. Mac and I discuss the issue of homosexuality in the church. Mac comes from a Roman Catholic viewpoint and I from a general Christian viewpoint. Before you read further and watch the video I believe I should mention something....
Grief – does it ever really go away?
Mac and Mike discuss the losses in their lives and how they affected them. Trying to understand why God allows such suffering is trying to understand a mathematical problem you have no idea how to solve. Saying "I understand how you feel." or "They are at peace now...
Can we compromise anymore?
Last week I (Mike) traveled to North Carolina to visit friends and clients that I have not seen since the China Flu hit. Of course, politics came up in discussions with my many friends. Most of us are fairly conservative or at least what I would call reasonable....
Inflation & Saving Money

Twitter Hysteria
Previously in the post, Elon Musk and Twitter Offer Mac and I spoke about the potential purchase of Twitter by Musk and the return of free speech to the internet. Now that the purchase has been approved things are heating up. Mac and I wonder what is behind all the...
What If Everyone Knew Everyone’s Thoughts?
Mac and Mike discuss the ramifications of fully understanding one another. What if we could not hide our thoughts from each other? Would it make the world better? What would be the difference between suddenly acquiring this ability versus being born with it? This is a...
Elon Musk and Twitter Offer
We all know Elon Musk is trying to buy Twitter. Most of us understand his main point is to turn it into a free-speech platform. Rather than trying to start a free-speech platform from scratch, it is much easier to buy one with a user base built-in. The argument...
