Computers

Here is a fun little poem I wrote the other day... Computers!! The machine I love to hate, Oh the computer ate my work! It really and truly did! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! ’Cause my file won’t open, That evil machine says it is corru...

Lesson 232 from The Hard Knocks School of Life

It doesn't matter whether or not a government declares something legal, what matters is whether something is right or wrong; when we look at this matter of legality we would do well to remember that not so long ago slavery was legal even here in t...

Is anything the government does fair? I think not. Here's the problem. We have the ability to force change. But do we? No. Every time and election comes around we vote the same deadbeat bastards back into office. The only person holding a gun to o...

Introduction

Most of my work will be available at www.authornation.com/Thewordwright but occasionally I’ll come by and add a little here. If you like what I write let me know. I hope to complete a chapter a week on Castle Bound until I have a 50-60,000 word first draft complete. I’d like to ask for help with spotting obvious problems as I go along and thank anyone who takes time to correspond with me.

Lesson 224 from The Hard Knocks School of Life

Lesson 223 from The Hard Knocks School of Life

Who is your neighbor?
He is the invisible person who is in danger of being harmed by someone near them or by the institutions around them. Who are these people? The child who is in danger of being aborted. The sick or elderly person in danger of being starved. Or the unborn infant who is in danger of being the subject of a medical experiment.

Lesson 198 from The Hard Knocks School of Life

The world is ruled by the aggressive application of force. (Rush Limbaugh)

Those who are unwilling to apply force in their defense will always become slaves. The question for you today is: Do you want to be a slave?

The bumps and bruises of life do make us stronger. I mean simply that we don't have to force the right things. They flow forward with the appropriate effort on our part. Peace, John
