My life's work

Questing for balance amid madness, from the heart of existence to the limits…

 

The Continuum Chronicles 

is an eight-volume account of Armageddon on Aldyryc, in the prime reality, where all things imagined have a basis and affect other realities, including ours.

The Blue Knight 
is the story of Logosien Di Lzander, the first Champion chosen to fight the Final Existential War. Raised as a martial monk of the Goddess of Perfection, his birth is the battle that begins the war.

Becoming Empress Morgana Le Fey’s hero knight, Logosien runs up the ladder of success while descending into darkness. Paragon, saviour, deceiver, and conqueror, he unleashes great evil while helping usher in a new golden age.

Struggling to remain human while becoming the gods’ weapon, he is hunted by insanity incarnate, the S’Skahahn, until they succeed in taking everything. He rises as Champion of Order, sworn to save his son from his god-like enemy and dedicated to their destruction.  For a chance, he must survive the infernal wyrm’s fury, the Underworld’s depths, and his soul’s judgement.

What happened to aspirations?

How sad our politics when national dreams have given way to the neoliberal mantra of low taxes and self regulation.

The results: 30+ of middle-class stagnation and reduction, a growing infrastructure deficit, unemployment and underemployment, and the obscene concentration of more than half the worlds wealth in the hands of the 1% -  who are the ones actually referred to when we speak of "the markets". A few very wealthy traders (I wouldn't call them investors, they only invest in themselves) cause the fluctuations in the stock markets, manipulating them with sheer weight and more than willing to gamble on speculation. When the markets disapprove, it is they who do so, not some invisible hand or the general investor.

It's time for something more than a balanced budget. That's useless if you're not accomplishing anything worth accomplishing.



 

The NRA Sacrifices American Lives

For their ideology and paranoia, the NRA wields its weight to crush all reasonable gun restrictions. They do this large through fear. Afterall, your neighbouir might have an assault rifle, so so should you. Never mind getting rid of assault rifles. Never mind that its blantantly obvious gun laws are needed.

Firearms are restricted in Canada. You need to take a short safety course to get a an acquisition certificate. Imagine the state requiring a couple hours of your time in exchange for lethal force. For anything more sexy than your run-of-the-mill hunting rifles and shotguns you need a special permit. We don't tend to own guns meant only for killing people. We don't have handguns in our purses, but the crime rate has been dropping for more than a decade.

Yet the NRA claims our American friends need more guns. Every man, woman, and child (younger the better) should carry on the hip. We've had less than a dozen mass shootings during the last 50 years. America has them routinely.

Who's to blame?

The NRA.

They certainly aren't helping and definitely don't mind sacrificing your children.

Using hate to win

Bob Rae has it right. Harper imported the Wiz of Oz, a black magician if ever there was, and he's using a relatively unimportant wedge issue to divide and conquer (his one trick). In the tradition of the far right, he feeds the worst in us by directing hatred and fear at a minority to create a false threat and controversy. Classic fascism, which is where you end up when you go far enough right. Anything to win. Just don't look behind the curtain folks. You might find Orwell standing there.

Every bully knows that you go after the one with no one to protect them to estabish power.
