JUST SOME POSTS

The definitions are based on the Merriam-Webster online dictionary and my own interpretations - some much more the latter than the former. The thoughts are all mine... Intelligence - n . the ability to learn and/or understand thoughts, concepts and ideas; the ability to reason. Knowledge - n . accumulation of facts and of knowing something through experience or association - learning. Experience - n . gaining knowledge through or being affected by observation or participation in an activity or event. Wisdom - n . the application of intelligence and knowledge with understanding, tempered with experience. I have a lot of formal as well as experiential learning. I have done many, many hours of study in classrooms, seminars, courses; and through the great schoolroom of life. In all this I have met many very intelligent young people. Many of these intelligent youth had already attained great, if limited, knowledge; at least the kind that can be learned from a book or class. Very few had...

In the last post I listed a few national issues and things in the news and was going to comment on them. As the post was getting long I decided to end the comments and revisit in another post. Here is that post.  Here are the things I did NOT cover from my opening remarks of last: When half of the population is living off of the other half through government programs, it is time to wake up.

When the First Amendment is used to stifle religious practices vs protect them, we have lost our way. There are many more, but I think that is enough for ...
