Easy To Hate

I have a confession. I am a loudmouthed, obnoxious and opinionated jerk who knows that, more often than not, I’m right. The few times I’m wrong, I know I’m wrong and then I am right again. I see Mary Poppins being practically perfect in every way and laugh—she’s such a hack. But that’s all introduction to my very real problem: I find it easy to hate.

My E-Book On Immigration For You: Free

fe It’s pithy, it’s mostly blog posts converted into book format, the design is thrown together, and the author (me) stinks. Either way, I decided to compile all of my Illegal Immigration and American Christianity’s Respons series into an e-book that you can download and print out or read on anything that allows you to read pdfs.

    4. Who Is A Person?
    5. What is the Purpose of Schooling

      Why I Think Our Words Matter

      Words convey information: that’s important to me.

      Words, strung together in sentences are information vehicles driving thought from one person (me) to another (reader): that’s important to me. The nature of verbal communication is to transfer the information via the ether, with syllables of sound; if there are no ears to hear, the words disappear. The communication falters. If words are passed orally to another, the communication is received but the information is now reformulated through another vehicle.
