As always, your words are strong. If you choose, WHY are so many of us suffering this mind virus? Why might not be a correct question, perhaps, How, is more pertinent. How can so many thinking, otherwise, rational, beings be held in thrall by thoughts so obviously not anchored in reality?

So very true. Dr. Gad Saadi’s THE PARASITIC MIND is a wonderful treatment of the subject. The antidote to the virus is that we call out the nonsense and don’t remain silent.

I read all of this in your voice, brother. We’re on the same page with most of this analysis.

I wrote this early Sunday, and a lot has happened in a few days, but my intuition remains that regime change is coming. We’re working on it, it’ll be quiet for some time, then, boom.

Thanks for so succinctly putting your thoughts down in this article regarding Iran. I was literally just having a conversation with my adult children going over the topic of Iran and our recent interactions with them. I appreciate your insight. The content is helpful to reference when engaging others on this topic.

There really are a lot of noisy folks who think history started the day they were born. I’m just fortunate enough to have lived through all the reasons why they’re wrong about current geopolitics.

Thanks you for this article. It's nice to read another opinion than media's 'the sky is falling'.

It’s a heck of a time to raise a family, but I am convinced my optimism is warranted that our children will be coming of age during a new ascendency of our culture. We’re giving them a much better world.
