Book Review – The Prince

The Prince – Machiavelli

The Art of War is a Sun Tzu epic but when it comes to the politics of war there is none who put the thought process together than the late Machiavelli in, The Prince. Below is an excerpt from “The Prince and the Discourses” (Max Lerner) and it might provide a window into the somewhat blunt and brutal way the author idealized Politics. Most of us approach politicians with hate and distaste due to the multitude of lies and falsehoods they perpetuate. However, he made it his goal to define and simplify the process as black and white, good and evil.

There wasn’t too much condemnation towards evil as he was trying to maintain an unbiased approach. However, as he does outline certain events and certain colourful characters you can see that he does it out of the desire to bring clarity not the desire … Continue reading

Book Review – The 12th Planet

The 12th Planet – Zecharia Sitchin (Book 1: The Earth Chronicles)

The origins of man! Where did we come from? Is GOD nothing more than a name for “Alien who needed a work force”? No one has any definite solution for these anomalies. However, there are a ton of factual findings and evidence that separate scientists have found but not put together to form any solid theories or ideas. Imagine the Bible itself being among those pieces of evidence and a priceless archaeological find.

Sitchin takes all of these things into consideration in this his first book in “The Earth Chronicles” series. He not only gives you the raw data so you can take it and formulate your own timeliness – he also offers you his own sentiments as a platform to jump start your comprehension. The research was thorough, documentation was linear and there was no force from the … Continue reading

Modern Phylosophy

minor edits have been made on the original to make for a more linear read

Right now I’m studying…Well, actually it’s only history. Still, it’s about those brilliant minds that were at the forefront of all modern historical changes (whether they be political or social). We have our Aristotles and Platos and all the other Greek philosophers and the Renaissance artistes who were considered brilliant and unparalleled. Then those who were alive during the Era of Romanticism and the German Sturm and Stress Period. Strange, they are remembered as geniuses and every other over embellishing adjective you can think of. All they did was speak of the plight and joys of their day and brought it forth in an artistic and entertaining manner. Now the leaders in our society today are overlooked as loud mouth monkeys whose words are senseless and incomprehensible.

Is it … Continue reading

I am Black

I find that when we try to be politically correct the reality of what is tends to be overshadowed by what we want it to be.  With that mindset I wrote this piece a few years ago without prejudice or intention to offend.  It’s simply an unshuttered view into the reality some of us do live in.  It’s sole intention is for a potential reader, regardless of their initial reaction, to take a chance and look deeper and ask “why”.  There is a lot more going on in the actual poem than first meets the eye.   The idea behind it or the topic it tries to touch on is that skin, race and other judgmental perspectives should not be used to qualify an individual.  I wrote it from the perspective I know and no matter your view point a mere changing of words so that they apply to your situation … Continue reading

I am a Man

author: K.M. / November 29, 2005 [edited Jan 23/2012]

I am a man! This is a man’s world. As such, I am the ultimate and only power in the construction of our modern society. This statement is very much true. It would be more politically correct to say the statement is false which is the outlook those who see no more room for change will adamantly say is more acceptable. “How can it be true?” they might ask. It is clearly a chauvinistic and self possessed argument. Women’s rights have come so far. Women have made bold statements in the workforce and politically as well. Women are now equal partners in all things regarding the home. They  have grown out of obscurity to prominence but strangely still in the servitude of a man. The irony is astoundingly apparent and to many who speak on these issue, non existent.

That lack … Continue reading
