I used to be caught up in…
Ethical Approach to Addressing Illegal Migrants I am MAGA—through and through. There is a deep and growing demand for justice, and an urgent desire to make things right—quickly. However, I take a slightly different view on immigration compared to the black-and-white solutions that dominate today’s discourse. The illegal migrant crisis is one of the most…
About 6 years ago I was confronted by a reader of my blogs wondering if I, as a registered Structural Engineer, had ever heard of “Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth”. I told him that I had, as a side, but had never delved into anything they had said. He, basically, called me a “coward”. This…

This is an article, not written by me, that I think is worth reprinting.
