Electric Vehicle Technology Breakthrough and Facing the Facts
The Damn Inconvenience of those pernicious, insidious facts. Two Different Breakthroughs Will Radically Improve Electric Vehicle Acceptance and Penetration in the Automotive Market – Regardless of Our Unwillingness to Change Improvements in electric vehicles and their acceptance has been incremental ever since the first electric vehicle came onto the North American market in 2010.

Reflections
I wrote this a few years ago, reflecting on how at one point it my life, I was both the protagonist and antagonist of this poem. It could have gone either way. I often wonder how many others stood on that bridge and made the alternate choice. This is for them, and the men I’ve…

A Public Service Message for the Alienated
When did we lose our perspective? I am but an observer to the protagonists and antagonists of this expose, as I do not reside in the United States. But I am not simply an observer, for whatever befalls America will spread like a contagion, infecting; first its neighbours, and then the world. So having said…

From American Dream to American Nightmare
I grew up watching John F. Kennedy on the nightly news, on what was a circular RCA Black and White TV whose picture quality approximated looking through a mayonnaise jar, empty but not yet cleaned. I grew up poor, but never saw myself as disadvantaged. I could change that. I knew I had the means…

A Response To the End of Reason
Today I decided to remove myself from the toxic effects of Facebook and social media in general. The American election for the Presidency of the United States has, without question, become a toxic affair, more fitting black sites from the Dark Web, where hate speech espoused by social misfits and sociopaths can be found, prompting…

A New Beginning or the Beginning of the End?
If America elects trump and turns its back on ‘leadership’ in relation to democratic states, thereby seeking isolationism, America will bring about the next World War. How it occurs, and which spark initiates it is not central to its occurrence, isolationism, is. Just as Eisenhower ensured a stable democratic alliance against the Soviet Union, by…

Hope verses Belief
I often wonder how people who never test their hypotheses become believers. Do they realize that their assertions are based on unproven and untested thoughts. I won’t call them possibilities, because they are unwilling to take part in the requisite work of gathering as much real and verifiable data as necessary. So why do ‘believers’…

Global Civilization Collapse Maintain the status quo, whatever we do. We continue to hear an ongoing diatribe about sustainability. According to the work of Dan Brooks Humans have become dependent upon technology, assuming that technology can and will save us from ourselves, from our behaviors. In reality, we should be considering how survival is to…
