This is the Anti-Blog

I hate the word "blog". I hate it and all of its partners in crime: "blogsphere", "blogger", "photoblog", "iblog", "blogtastic" .... its an unbearable "blogsoup". I could write a whole blog on why I hate the word but that would probably get boring and just as cliche'.

No, instead I'll be posting all my other rants. Yes I'm going to be just like the other 40 bazillion whiny blogs out there. So enjoy! :)

Wedge Issues: "Mosque" in Lower Manhattan

I should really stop reading facebook. I mean really. Most of my friends have such a totally opposite world-view to my own that every-time I look at it I just cringe that people actually believe some of the things they post. The absolute worst is politics and religion. I think I'll tackle my thoughts on facebook in another post and instead focus on something more specific. I feel I must comment on the most cringe-worthy "issue" of all ... Dare I even mouth the words ... a "mosque" at the site of the former world trade center. Now I have a rule on the anti-blog and that is to refrain from offering my own whiny, ranting, opinion on whatever topic. My goal is to make you think and then make up your own mind. However, this being the anti-blog, and MY anti-blog, I get to violate my own rules! :) So without further ado: If you really don't have a problem with a mosque in any place, let alone in Lower Manhattan then you can stop reading here. You are welcome to con

Wedge Issues: On God and Country

July 4th falling on a Sunday this year presented a unique opportunity for Christian groups to spotlight the idea of the USA as a Christian nation. My own church had a sermon titled: "Is America still a Christian nation?" In fairness I can't speak to it directly because I was not in attendance this Sunday, however I would like to discuss how religion should or shouldn't play a role in our country and society. I think the debate I've been hearing is a little be short sighted. The questions are usually "Are we a Christian nation?", or "Were we a Christian nation?". We should be asking "What does it mean to be a Christian nation?" and "Should we be a Christian nation?" Were/Are we a Christian Nation? There was a large group of people that played a role in the foundations of our country. Some of them were Christians in the traditional sense but many of the more well known ones were Deists . In a nutshell Deists believe in God b

Life, Anti-Blogs and New Projects

A post you say! A post! Yes it's been a long while since I've written anything. I won't apologize as this is the anti-blog after all! There are a lot of reasons for my extended absence. Job, family, stuff seems to get in the way. I have a lot going on in my life. Just a brief catch-up on a few of the things I was doing: 1. Run for Governor. Well time got in the way of that too. Write me in. Unfortunately a grass-roots organization never materialized. And I just don't have the resources to take off from work to go door to door and request a 40,000+ signatures :). Write me in! 2. Wedge Issues. These will return in due time. Plenty to talk about. 3. Free Iran! Still very interested in what is going on there. Unfortunately there's just not as much news coming out. Please continue to pray for the people of that country. 4. Trains. Still being worked on. New pictures coming as soon as I get the next major pieces built. As for things I'm up to right now: The biggest
