Some background on this poem. A whiskey related YouTube channel I watch just crossed over 100k subscribers early today. When I hit I was inspired to write a short poem to honor the moment. So here is "To the Crossing": Raise a glass To the high class Of such Magnificent Bastards! We’ve come so far … Continue reading To the Crossing
Why I Write
I'd like to say that I am abound with people asking me why I write. Sadly, or maybe not so sadly, I've never been asked why. Nonetheless, I think it's important to ask ones self that from time to time. If for no other reason as to be self reflected about ones actions. So why … Continue reading Why I Write
Is a Law Moral?
Is a law moral? Rather, does a law have a moral value? It has become vexing to me in my work in “Denial of Moral Responsibly”, and in conversations of late, that there is a notion that a right is given by law. This is, of course, completely incorrect.

It has been long since my last post so I thought I'd post a bit of an update. I'm still working on the next major theme in my philosophical discussions, "Denial of Moral Responsibility".
