Turning to look at her mom, baby Jessica said, “Mommy, why do you have a door on your forehead?” 

It was after lunch and Jessica sat on her mom's lap holding her picture book, Creatures of the Forest.

Oh honey, nothing awful. It's so I can get my bad thoughts out of my head," replied her mom.

Jessica turned to her book and touched the face of a bear. “Mommy, how come daddy doesn't have a door on his forehead too?”

Your father has a door by his heart to let love in.”

Jessica rubbed her hand along the page, petting the bear. "How come I don't have a door?"

"You will, sweetie. When you grow up, you get a door where you need it the most."

Turning to reach for her mom. "Can I touch your door?"

Her mom leaned her head back, "No Honey, only I can do that. It's not nice to touch other people's doors."

"Oh, okay." Jessica turned back to her book and turned the page to a picture of four robins perched on a tree branch. She touched each one. "Can I get more than one door?"

"Oh God No!" exclaimed her mom. Calming herself, "You don't want that, honey. Only the very very bad people need more than one door. You don't want to be one of them."

Jessica smiled, "I can't wait until I grow up and get a door," and she turned the page to an owl.

"I think I can," whispered her mom.

Social Politics

I read in Google News that many states and cities in the USA are considering banning sugary drinks like soda. They claim that sugar is causing health problems and the government wants to save you from yourself. There are some other things that governments are doing, like requiring salt and fat warnings on restaurant menus. 

To some people, this is the nanny state. Others call it overreaching and others yet, creeping socialism.

Well, for the record, I think we already have a partial socialist state. It cannot be helped. Whenever the government steps in to help the citizens, you have socialism. 

Let's consider one of the biggest government programs there is in the United States, Medicare.

Medicare is a program of healthcare insurance. In short, the government collects money (taxes) and uses it to pay doctor and hospital bills for retired people. Whether the government does a good job or not is not the issue here.

Then, we ask the government to go one more step, to spend the money (taxe…

The Caped Crusader

Clarke was unusual for a caveman, he was a superhero. He could leap over tall buildings. 

His problem was that there were no tall buildings and would not be any for another ten thousand years. It was quite a dilemma for our superhero so he was reduced to leaping into tall trees. His current problem was that he had no superpowers to leap out of tall trees.

One day while climbing down from a tall tree, Clarke watched a squirrel leap from a tree. The squirrel spread its excess skin and floated to the ground. Eureka! problem solved. 

Clarke ran to the cave of his beloved girlfriend, Lois. After much description to Lois of the squirrel, Lois sewed him a scarf made from the lightest and softest bear hide. 

Clarke donned his new scarf around his neck and shoulders. He leaped into the nearest tall tree. He jumped from the tree, spread his scarf, and fell face first into the ground. 


Clarke sought out his friend Einstein. Clarke explained what he had seen of the squirrel, what he wanted to do,…
