Boiled Smart Frog: the wise hypocrisy
http://www.boiledsmartfrog.com/2012/02/wise-hypocrisy.html
Wednesday, February 8, 2012. Sometimes you have to take a step back, look at yourself, and identify the stereotypes you embody. there is nothing like a reality check when you can connect your thoughts and arguments to already identified character types. there is no better cure to arrogance then recognizing your own hypocrisies. The deep end will have fewer people and even fewer truly happy. they swim between various levels of thought not quite satisfied in any position. they do not deserve the re...But t...

Boiled Smart Frog: The Chavez Lesson
http://www.boiledsmartfrog.com/2013/03/the-chavez-lesson.html
Monday, March 18, 2013. I haven’t written much lately. Truth is, I have been writing other things. Which is why I haven’t been writing here that often. I’ve been more interested in reading, tinkering with old incomplete stories, writing letters to various folks, and making various home-art in photoshop. That being said, I did have to share this one thought. Well with me, it’s always more than one thought, but you knew that already. But here’s another thought on Chavez. Politicians and leaders h...I also ...

Boiled Smart Frog: the straw man's straw man
http://www.boiledsmartfrog.com/2013/01/the-straw-mans-straw-man.html
Thursday, January 24, 2013. The straw man's straw man. I was reading a philosophy textbook the other day (yes, I do that), and I came across the term ‘Straw man’. I knew of it before, but I had never seen it actually spelled out in an education setting. It struck me as the perfect way to describe a lot of what I have found most despicable about the republican party in the post 2000s. I thought to myself, “Huh, I should write a smart frog about that.”. Piss on it – can’t do it now. You wat...Once Upon A T...

Aaron Sorkin predicted the future! In September 1999 a new pilot was aired on NBC. The name of it was The West Wing. In the pilot they covered abortion, immigration, gun control, insulting an influential but radical Christian right group, and even mentioned Gaddafi. And that was just the pilot. We aren't that foolish! Will pr...

Boiled Smart Frog: August 2012
http://www.boiledsmartfrog.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 13, 2012. My own family, in addition to my own battle against cancer, has suffered other cases of cancer, cardiac problems, dementia, and other tragic losses and serious struggles. In addition, I lost my grandpa. On the bright side we have had many fortunate victories over many, many events, and I am expecting a niece! I joke when talking to folks, sometimes, about the cancer being a great diet plan, or a good perception changer. One I didn't recommend to people, but very effective! It was...

Boiled Smart Frog: Definitions
http://www.boiledsmartfrog.com/2012/05/definitions.html
Monday, May 7, 2012. I thought it might be time to take a moment and define in my own words (tongue-in-cheek added at no extra charge) some terms used often by me, by those we rely on to deliver the "news", and by those our fellow citizens chose as their representatives. 8221;, “Republicans are patriots! 8221;, “Iran could destroy our way of life! 8221;, “Gas prices are Obama’s fault! 8221;, “Butter belongs on the outside of bread! 8221;, etc. 8211; A term that literally means a governing body owning and...

Boiled Smart Frog: Counter Logic Arguments
http://www.boiledsmartfrog.com/2011/11/mississippi-to-voteon-personhood.html
Sunday, November 6, 2011. Mississippi to Vote on personhood. In the above article, CNN discusses the prop 26 in Mississippi that will define an unborn fetus as a 'person'. I find a lot of things about this alarming and depressing, but one thing in particular stood out to me reading this article that reminded me of the many times I have see the counter logic arguments used by the right and by the extremists. By taking an option away. That is backwards logic. The way it works is this:. It works really well.

Sunday, December 23, 2012. Gen z's romantic battle. There are a lot of general shifts in humanity that are fastly approaching. Many of them are products of ongoing conflicts that will come to a head. To predict which way we go is a fool’s errand. One I gladly take part in because it allows my imagination to fly. It also is a great source of optimism one day, and severe remorse the next.

Boiled Smart Frog: September 2012
http://www.boiledsmartfrog.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 17, 2012. One of the reasons my writing in this blog has slowed down is because it had the opposite effect than what I intended. Instead of being therapeutic, it just stirred me up more. The reason I am saying this is because if I am to continue, I need a change. I need to focus on the truths that help ground me, not the outrages that dehumanize my thought. To give you an idea of what I am talking about – consider the human race. We are on a ball that spins at 1670 km / hr....There a...
