Aß-oles Anonymous

Join the fun! And Admit what you think you might be to whatever part of the rest of your world you are comfortable with. Charter member list: We will need to invent procedures, elected officials, budgets, goals and objectives, and community service commitments.

Am I Human?

What I think this gets down to are the following particulars:

Two Possibilities

Either we are alone in the Universe and there are no other life forms; or we are not alone. Either one is very scary. Your thoughts?

As of the current writing (June 2021) current application systems collect data about Sex by asking one insufficient question: “Sex: Male or Female?”. This is nowhere near enough data to be a “Complete, Honest, and Meaningful” representation of this information. The information I think we need […]

U S Politics 2021

Once there was a time when the political parties in our country had clear principles and goals.

Regrets

“Regrets, I’ve had a fewbut then, again, too few to mention” How many times and from how many people have you heard these regrets: I wish I hadn’t worked so much I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends I wish I had […]
