A Polygraph Nation "When you fail your polygraph test, we're going to string you by your balls,’ exclaimed police detectives. All that I have ever wanted to do from the first second, when false allegations were made against me, was to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Most shocking, was when I realized that these police detectives were not very happy with me when results came in after my first polygraph saying that I had passed. They simply were pissed off ...

Auto-da-fe was the ceremony of the Inquisition's judgement, and order for punishment to be executed by the government. This perverse marriage of state and church, ushered in the perfection of punishment, torture, sorted means of death, and "creative cruelty" designed to break the will of those deemed; not in moral conformity.

I immediately thought of the stories my parents told me regarding traveling circuses. Animals in cages, placed on wagons, pulled by horses, from town to town. Men on the yard stopped talking and exercising as the cart approached. Two women guided it towards our building. There was a brown dog inside the sturdy metal cage. Most of us believed he was vicious because of ...

Many years later, far from these exciting an...

Civilized Paradox, or Hypocrisy The sight of a bully, or bullies, continuing to beat a person already down is intolerable, cause for outrage, and social indignation. Schools take bullying serious. Children are taught and disciplined not to bully others: "It's wrong to over-power another and force them to say uncle." Domineering, browbeating, and subjugating, is what tyrants do; definitely not what we want our children to do, or to become. Such behavior is not acceptable in a ci...

Conviction I've searched for conviction, but I'm not sure where it lies. I've looked for it in the striving of the passionate, in the eyes of the nodding heads; I've listened for it carefully in the rising octaves of the storytellers and the whispers of those whose homes are shadows; but I never found it until I stopped looking. Maybe because conviction is something only seen in it's absence. Or maybe because so many people have painted their passion and agreement the...
