For all that I have done

I could rage
I could purge
I could put an end
to the world

I could stoke
I could burn
with the pain
that I feel

For all that I have done

But what good
would come
from such a thing

Only to blind
all the pain
in a haze of hate

And forget all that was good

I could hide
behind walls
and say to them all
that I am protecting myself

I could lie
I could run
from the pain
thats inside

To an end that is without hope

But I cannot do this
as others seem able
for I have not the strength
any longer

So I will cry
I will hurt
and I
will feel the pain

For all that I have done

Until I make it right

Religious States

     A question has always vexed me concerning the ways in which we pick and choose the states we support in the Middle East.

The state that I speak of is Israel.      Now let me come out right up front and say that I am not against the Israel being a state. Nor am I against the Israel people, or the Jewish people that make up a majority of the citizens of that state. In fact, of the being three western monotheistic religions, I think that Judaism is the most pure and natural of the three.      What I am against is the United States being in support of Israel as a Jewish state. This stance has for to long pitted us against other Middle Ea...

Lindeman's Intelligent and Good Individual

*What follows is a write up that I did for one of my grad classes concerning a number of claims that Eduard C. Lindeman makes in his book "The Meaning of Adult Education". I don't claim for it to be authority, or exactly what Lindeman means by his claims, but I do believe that what I have written is a good explanation of some of the implications for the claims that he makes and doesn't defend.* While reading “The Meaning of Adult Education” I ran into a number of major claims made by the author that I believe needed to be clarified and expounded upon. In the first paragraph on page 17 Lindeman makes a number claims that need to be unpacked. These claims will go on to have a profound effect on the rest of the book. Although a few pages before Lindeman tell us what intelligence ‘is’, we don’t find out what makes an intelligent person until pages 16 and 17. It is to these points that I’d like to address. First, “The person who knows what he wants to do and why i...
