October 27 2018 Read a number of posts who see the “suspicious packages” incident as a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats, and even I was suspect for a moment over the timing and how it caused a diversion from the Honduran caravan approaching the U.S., which placed another very negative light squarely on Trump for…

Critical Thinking, Natural Law and Islam.
January 23 2019 RESPONSE to PART 3: Critical thinking is the OBJECTIVE analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment; it is SELF-directed, SELF-disciplined, SELF-monitored, and SELF-corrective. Nature implies that its laws are objective and universal, where certain rights, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, are inherent by…
Critical thinking, natural law, and Islam.
Response to: KK (https://www.facebook.com/notes/sandra-loughmiller/build-its-institutions-constructively-allow-critical-thinking-nurture-economic-p/2001459379889492/?comment_id=10157089821459993¬if_id=1548228828601031¬if_t=feed_comment)Extremist thoughts and negativity isolate you. You become exclusive, not inclusive. And then when you are alone you only have extremist thoughts to keep you company. One should learn to appreciate all colours of the spectrum. The universe is made of so many colours and not noticing their beauty makes us colour…
“Build its institutions constructively, allow critical thinking, nurture economic policies in the right direction.”
January 22 2019 Response to KK: Working for progress:- The book ‘Why Nations Fail?’ by Daron Acemoglu and James A Robinson explain that there are other reasons than that of culture, weather and geography that make or break nations. The writers explained with clarity of thought and historical perspective that nations become great when they…
What does sexual orientation have to do with an alien invasion anyway?
January 29 2019 So, what’s sexual orientation equality or a gender-less society really about, because the rainbow heart has always existed, but for trans-humanism to take root; where cheap-to-feed with a lot of brains machines, like ghosts in shells exist in an apocalyptic “Metropolis,” in “The Matrix,” like I ROBOT, Robocop, the Avengers, and Terminators,…
My approach to studying Nichiren Buddhism.
February 13 2019 RESPONSE My particular study strategy stems from my understanding of what is the purpose of Buddhism, i.e. the faith of mine that is equal to my daily life.

There is a non-duality or “oneness of living beings and Buddhas,” i.e. not two different things but are essential one, where the mind,…
Prisoners barely earn a dime an hour, but they get it all for FREE.
April 29 2019 I do NOT think those inmates Sanders believe should become eligible to VOTE are allowed to have CASH so I guess that means they purchase things through a digital account using a plastic card for the freedom of convenience or is that permission to purchase? That would mean in a CASHLESS SOCIETY…
Achieving world peace. Nichiren Buddhism makes no claim about how things should or ought to be.
April 30 2019 Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is not about romancing the metaphorical wish-granting jewel said to produce whatever ones desires, seeking patronage though the use of flattery to further one’s own interests for the purpose of receiving benefits, nor is it a love affair with human society, where we will suddenly achieve world peace. Both physical and…
