* On Feb. 10, 1535, notwithstanding the winter chill and in a form of protest that was, unsurprisingly, ridiculed by both Protestants and Catholics, a small group of Anabaptists ran stark naked through the streets of Amsterdam, shouting that they “had been sent from God to communicate the naked truth to the godless.” 02/02/2023 04:00 AM

Slaves

Slaves–the first thought that comes to mind is the southern black cotton pickin’ man forced into submission by the cruel white whipping masters. The mini series Roots comes to mind, if old enough to remember. Today, they are only stories told by second and third generation people. We should never forget the war and struggles fought to eliminate that kind of slavery. Slavery as that was not the first, nor will the last. Slavery is not limited to the south or to any race. Slavery has been around since biblical times, along with a bunch of other evil things this world has to offer. Some form of slavery still exist today. From the obvious (or hidden in plain sight) human trafficking to the debt of credit cards, being a slave is not so extinct as we would hope. The thousands of people crossing the border illegally are often subject to amounts of money that can only be paid back by some sort of servitude. Just as we don’t want to admit to the abuses of the past, the current situation of some is something we would like to ignore. Those subject to the servitude may not admit as it is partially self-inflected. Self inflicted servitude is one of the most common types of slavery. The illegals crossing the border want to leave from where they came so badly they will subject themselves to a life of servitude. 02/02/2023 04:00 AM

New Year, Same 'ole Politics

A new year can offer new beginnings and fresh starts. It can mean a reboot for those derailed from diets or kick start for those on wanting to be more physically fit. It is an opportunity to begin anew the things we planned to do last year. 01/04/2023 11:00 PM
