End of the Week Coffee Break
I hope that my writing serves as a catalyst for intellectual reflection, debate and at times just a good-natured laugh. I intend to write on topics current in America — hopefully from a perspective of thought not rigorously tied to one political dogma. Thinking about productive outcomes is perhaps the best way to describe my desired outcome... or at least my motivation for thoughtfulness and debate.

HOW TO ACHIEVE WORLD'S PEACE
We are living in the age of science and nuclear development. Today, the immense power of the atomic bomb works like a slave in our hands and is waiting for our signals to destroy the whole humanity. We can use this power for the development of peace and humanity and to bleed the world with the havocs of atomic war.

The Wall of Jericho
There are a significant number of values that was instilled within me throughout my childhood that still remain today. These values are at the core of what many refer to as “Good Christian Values.” Be kind to others. Share what you have with the less fortunate. Show understanding, love, and strength with others. And above all, Love JESUS and trust in His word! I held tightly to these values and made them a part of who I am as a man. Not only did I trust in his word, I also carried it with me every where I went. It was in my hand at all times. That’s how important those values have always been to me. And most of them still are. A wall of virtue had been built, and I dared anyone to break it down.

A brief note on my governor
11JUL2022; 1154, MON- Maryland, USA As I sit in this doughnut shop pondering my hatred of the infamous snacks, I can't help but to remember that classic one liner by Drake: "What a time; to be alive!" Shoutout to whoever helped him write that one.

The Fourth Of July Has Become a Day of Mourning
My Mayflower ancestors, illegal immigrants from England in 1620, invaded a country not their own. Those immigrants, including Isaac Allerton, Mary Norris, and their children including four-year-old daughter Mary Allerton, were Pilgrim Separatists, seeking religious freedom in a new place. They had been forced to flee their home in England in order to worship as they were called to do, and build a new life in a country far different from what they knew. It was worth giving up everything they had to start a new life, where they could worship as they chose. They stole the country of my Indigenous ancestors, and started a history of genocide, yes. They were seeking freedom, but their Christian religion was a martial one, so they did what they had been taught. Today, we know better. But are we doing better? I have my doubts.

You Don’t Get a Free Pass On Being Racist Because You’re Family
If your family and extended families are anything like mine, you know what it’s like to have a racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobic, or xenophobic family member. Maybe several. Perhaps a number of them have terrible views about all five things I just mentioned.
