    @plushy That has a multi faceted answer. Though the long and short of it is that I've, in one way or another, embraced the darkness. Just not...

So how many of the Christians names can you remember, the ones that were fed to the lions by the Romans, how many of the names of the victims of Hitler do you remember, or even the survivors? Alexander the Great and Attila the Hun razed the globe but we don?t have a minutes silence for their...
Late last night when everyone was in bed sleeping, an unknown person or persons came by the trailer park and threw Molotov cocktails at several trailers. One landed underneath a trailer, the other under a car and the third broke a window but bounced off. This individual or individuals also...

As the press pundits, experts & sages pontificated away on CNN, a common theme emerged. They didn't flat out spew it out like barf so it was right there, but they implied it over & over again. What is this 'IT' I'm obliquely referring to? Simple: we quiet loners who keep to ourselves are a...
Once again, it is open season on teachers. They make too much money, they have too much vacation, their union is too powerful, they can't teach, and on it goes. Now the level of resentment has increased. In order to prevent another massacre as happened at Sandy Hooks, it's obvious that...

Once more Aspergers is in the news and not in a positive way. I am afraid that it may backfire on all of us, especially young males. I wish I knew what the answer was. I wonder, was this troubled young man a member of one of our forums, either AC or another? Is there something any of us...

Little children should not die in terror. But they do. Every day. We lie to our children, we tell them that we will always be there to protect them, or if you are religious, you tell them that God loves them and will protect them. But what happens when it all goes wrong? When...

This week Michigan became the newest "Right to Work" state. All week long there have been protests and demonstrations including a huge one in Lansing that turned into a brawl between pro-RTW and anti-RTW forces. Now what the heck is "Right to Work" you might ask. Does that mean that...

I awoke early this morning thinking about what happened in Connecticut. Adam Lanza (the shooter) is reported on CNN (by his older brother Ryan (who was initially misidentified as being the shooter) to have 'a form of Autism'! I've wondered about the potential effect that isolation...
Yesterday I heard on the news about the Connecticut school shooting. This comes on the heels of several other well-publicized shooting incidents. At the same time, our wonderful Michigan legislature has decided to allow "concealed carry" in "gun-free zones". Of course, they would no longer be...

So today I want to write about the tricky notion of collaboration and creativity with other people. In the course I am currently on, there are four of us and so far we seem to get on well. There is a little tension due to something which would be better expressed in it's own post but suffice...

2012 is a forgettable year for me, save for the Tigers. The Tigers did well this year. Expectations were high this year for them to get to the World Series, and win it. The Tigers initially struggled, but later recovered to win their division and the American League. Even though they lost to...
Earlier this week the Netherlands were shocked by the death of a volunteer soccer referee. The 41 year old was kicked and beaten to death by? 3 teens. Yes, Two 16-year olds and one 15-year old brutally kicked the good sir in the head while he was already down. Needless to say, media is all...

Pretty much everyone somewhat active on the forum here has heard of it; Asperger?s is soon to be eliminated as a seperate diagnosis. This lead me to look up the DSM V (which will be, so far, the version that will be in effect in about 6 months) criteria and see where this leaves me and my...

All right everyone, you can forget diet, genetics, chemicals, and all the other proposed causes of autism. Here it is, the real reason why autism is on the increase. It has to do with the upcoming events of December 21, 2012. Nobody is really sure what is going to happen but something is...

Time for blog 8 folks & since this one contains disturbing subject matter, please feel forewarned! We live in an area that is known as one of the safest cities in the province. There are small towns & spot-on-the-map type hamlets that are safer, but it's because only 6 farm families live there...

I try to be careful about pointing out other's faults because of my own faults being very similar. I don't think I have dyslexia, but I do have some severe learning disabilities in some areas, especially in reading and math. I've always been rotten in math. I made straight Fs in reading...
Ack! "The world is too much with us." I feel like I'm surrounded by a swirling mass of despair and suffering. Once in a while I'll think about all the suffering that is happening in the world right now, in this minute, and I shrink. But there is where the worth of our lives becomes apparent...
