I want to lighten the mood from the past few weeks and write about a great victory and a great example for everyone. Anyone who reads my articles knows that I love sports. I played sports in high school and college, and I love all sports, but my three favorites are football, lacrosse, and wrestling. […]
At the risk of sounding provincial or even parochial I would like to share my feelings about what is going on in Garden City and specifically the Plantation neighborhood. We are trying to fight off the development of our golf course. My wife and I like 256 other homeowners are very concerned as are neighbors […]
The adults who oversee many of our institutions that historically have held the keys to the kingdom of the promise of hope and advancement in our society, have proceeded in a world and with hearts that are void of virtue. The predicate for all actions in a civil and ordered world must be a foundation […]
Does it seem to anybody else that we are being ruled by a group of people who no matter how one measures their “virtue” they are weak and not very accomplished in their own right? Back in the second century BCE the Greek military hero and Roman historian Polybius, wrote about. The “Kyklos”—cycle of governance. […]
I haven’t seen so many Democrats this mad (and scared) since the Republicans freed the slaves. I haven’t seen so many people hate a President like the various progressive and RINO factions in our country today hate Donald Trump, since the Democrats, Peace Democrats, and Copperheads expressed their hate for Abraham Lincoln from 1858 until […]
I was involved in a litigation conference several days ago. My entire adult professional life was in the world of operating rooms and intensive care units. Sitting in a room with attorneys and the various parties involved in litigation is something that is part of their everyday lives, but the process is almost surreal from […]
Today I am writing on Palm Sunday. For followers of Jesus the events from Jesus triumphant entry on a Donkey into Jerusalem until his ascension into Heaven forty days after his resurrection are the essence of our Christian faith. If there was no resurrection, the whole story was a hoax. If there was not an […]
Christians and those who follow traditional Hebrew theology understand very basic principles. God made us. God made us in His image. We cannot change the form or spirit in which He made us. To think otherwise would be to put ourselves above God and put us at odds with His Will. I spent the last […]
I have tremendous respect for people who expose themselves and their families to the rigors of a political campaign and the sacrifices that are made while serving in the legislature, or as a government appointee. Putting their ideas and political philosophies on the line takes political courage. I am more often than I wish left […]
Why do we continue to listen to “experts” who have continually proven to be wrong in their predictions and prognostications? Last week I wrote that “bigger is not better” in many cases. How often have the “experts” in the fields of medical education and public health missed the mark over the past 10 years? The […]
I again have not seen Democrats so mad at those who disagree with them since Republicans freed the slaves! Think about what has been revealed to us over the past week because Republicans finally have control over the House of Representatives. In testimony before two Congressional Committees yesterday: When Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell joined […]
Everything is getting bigger. In my profession, the doctor-patient relationship has been all but destroyed by “vertical and horizontal integration” with hospital systems buying up medical practices and then employing physicians and physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Then the hospital systems are bought up by insurance companies or vice versa, and then the mega company […]
