Reflections on American Culture: A Veteran's Perspective
The Fourth Amendment
Does the 4th Amendment allow the government to send unsolicited text messages? Is that an invasion of privacy? Should you give up your location and allow the Government, either State or Federal, to track you? Is the China Flu causing people to unwittingly capitulate...
Ethan Crumbley’s Parents Charged
Was it right to charge Ethan Crumbley’s parents with involuntary manslaughter? More information may be revealed as time goes on. However, it seems a bit over the top to hold parents accountable for the actions of their teenage children. We can come up with arguments...
The Election Process

Mac & Mike on Accountability
When we were in the military they taught a technique called TQM. Many joked TQM stood for "Time to Quite the Military. Now they are likely teaching Six Sigma. The main point I'm driving at is a technique that was taught to fix things quickly. You outlined all the...
The Problem of Evil
