Got Milk?

San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Harvey Bernard Milk and SF Mayor George Moscone were shot to death by fellow city supervisor Dan White on November 27, 1978. It may be cruel to say that Dan White may have saved them a lingering death due to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). I'm not say that Dan White did them favors, but by killing them, he made them martyrs on the altar of gay rights. Milk lived in the Castro District of San Francisco. Tonight Sean Penn won an oscar for portraying Milk.

Welcome to the Machine!

This blog has many elements and depending on your interests, may pique your imagination...or not. I urge you to be unreasonable. Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. The unreasonable persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves, therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people. The more unreasonable you are, the more likely you are to enjoy this blog. All men dream, but not equally.

If you're a socialist or a Marxist, you'll find that I poke fun at your absurd notions of "good government" on a regular basis. So you might not wish to follow this blog because you'll be offended.

John Locke said, "One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant." I like what Locke said. We can't theorize without adequate information because when we do we inevitably twist facts to suit theories rather than theories to suit facts. In this blog and in my life, I try to maintain this perspective.

Either you believe in our essential spark of shared divinity, or you succumb to our human insecurity. Either way your conscience lets you slice it, the main thing is to earnestly do what is right at the time.

This is My Journey.
