Some questions for LeBron James

Some questions for LeBron James: 1. What exactly is your definition of “systemic racism” and in what systems does it exist? Everywhere? The NBA? In the neighborhoods where you own multi-million dollar estates? 2. Why don’t you live in communities you claim to care about, rather than presumably systemically racist communities? 3. Why didn’t or…MORE

At the very end of REDISCOVERING AMERICANISM (June 27, 2017), I closed my book with the following statement: “[T]hose of us whose eyes are open, whatever our numbers, have a moral obligation to try to rouse our fellow citizens to take a sober and critical look at the decaying societal conditions, from which truthful conclusions…MORE

From Rediscovering Americanism, quoting John Dewey

From Rediscovering Americanism, pp. 70 – 71, quoting John Dewey, 1916, Democracy and Education.

Question to Dr. Fauci

Question to Dr. Fauci: How many more people have died from your lock-down advice, e.g., from cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and suicide?
