Other Thoughts: 11/1/14 - 12/1/14
http://rachythoughts.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Random thoughts, odds and ends of life, and other reasons my friends think i'm a little weird. Saturday, November 1, 2014. A Mayor for the People. This weekend, Boston is remembering. The passing of its longest serving mayor, Thomas Menino. He was always a low-key guy. It was never "all about him" but more all about the city. He knew it well, the neighborhoods, the people, the diversity. He was not always the smoothest public speaker. Nicknamed "Mumbles," sometimes you weren't quite 100% sure what he...

Views of a new libertarian socialist: Tea Party Reps Fail
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2011/12/tea-party-reps-fail.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Tea Party Reps Fail. On the record, they say it's because it doesn't really stimulate the economy. But the unspoken reason is simply that Pres. Obama supports the idea, so they must oppose anything that Obama supports. And you don't steal candy from the voters! Even some conservative commentators couldn't figure out the hard line opposition by conservatives and Tea Party reps. We all know that a two month extension passed Congress and was...

Views of a new libertarian socialist: January 2012
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Monday, January 2, 2012. With tomorrow's Iowa caucuses, the candidates are off and running nomination as the Republican candidate for President. While Romney might have the best odds at getting the eventual nomination, things are still up in the air as 2012 begins. It's embarrassing at times. What am I looking for? But I don't think this candidate is out there. Let's see what happens! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my blog. Spring came in ...

Views of a new libertarian socialist: Syria: Crises of Complex Proportions
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2013/09/syria-crises-of-complex-proportions.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Monday, September 2, 2013. Syria: Crises of Complex Proportions. Syria is a crises that tears at our hearts when we hear of innocent civilians massacred, most recently gassed to death. Over 100,000 have died, a number equivalent to the population of my home town of Cambridge, Massachusetts. As Americans, we always ask "What should we do? Was he wise to seek political consensus? Is one a number of Syria 101. Articles that are worth a read. The article has many lin...

Views of a new libertarian socialist: June 2013
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Marriage and the Supreme Court. The high court issued two land-mark decisions on what is popularly called "same sex marriage." In separate 5-4 decis-ions, the court's decisions came out with decisions favorable to supporters of same sex marriage. We will shortly see the barrage of political spin on all fronts. But, from my analysis, the court decided in a logical manner. Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) Decision. We will hear religious leaders...

Views of a new libertarian socialist: July 2013
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Saturday, July 20, 2013. In the Matter of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. There is no reason that Trayvon Martin should have had to die. There's simply no reason. His death is not right (in my sense of right and wrong). It is not just, even if it can be legally justified under the laws of Florida. Being legally justifiable does not make something right, nor just. Why did he have to die? So what went wrong? Why did Trayvon have to die. Here the details are only p...

Other Thoughts: The Tinge in the Leaves
http://rachythoughts.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-tinge-in-leaves.html
Random thoughts, odds and ends of life, and other reasons my friends think i'm a little weird. Sunday, September 14, 2014. The Tinge in the Leaves. The tinge of color can be seen in the trees. The first mini-season of Autumn is upon us. The chilly breezes are beginning to blow. Our love affair with the warmth of summer is ending. It is a sad parting. The music of Autumn is melancholy. It is the season of separation, of leaving, of dying. The lyrics were written by. And sung (in my head). Astronomy Pictur...

Random thoughts, odds and ends of life, and other reasons my friends think i'm a little weird. Saturday, March 1, 2014. I Hate Winter Hair! We have had a really brutal, cold, and dry winter. It's horrible for hair! It's all dry and sometimes frizzy. But without it's normal curl, it just drops straight, especially after I've been wearing a warm wool hat on a single-digit degree day. For someone with relatively short hair, and a bit thin in the front, it can be a disaster. Tell me about thin hair! My occas...
