re: Does Memorial Day include confederate soldiers?

Posted by Boss13 on 5/28/24 at 9:04 am

Lincoln pardoned all confederate soldiers after the war and wanted to welcome the south back into the country. If he had the wisdom to do that right after the conflict, I feel it's appropriate to honor them as well, despite their cause....

This is actually an example of a very interesting phenomenon among humans. We always assume someone else is going to or already has responded to an emergency. Note to anyone dealing with an emergency situation, assign specific people to certain tasks. For example, don't say "someone call 911...

Played by politics

Posted by Boss13 on 5/16/24 at 7:12 pm

I used to follow politics with a genuin interest, thinking that it actually mattered. I don't feel that way anymore. I feel like it's us versus the politicians. I used to believe in Republicans and believed the Democrats just served people whom I disagreed with. Now it's all a big joke. Everywher...

The most important thing you can do to get past the grind is to create hope that you can dig out of it. If you resign yourself it will never get better. Mak...

The Shards and Bret Easton Ellis

Currently listening to "The Shards" by Ellis (American Psycho) and I'm realizing how incredible he is a putting society in a spotlight despite the heavy handedness of the sex and violence of his writing. If you are a fan of his or looking for some commentary on the social structure of the rich a...
