Whatever Happened To Compromise And Acceptance?

Whatever Happened To Compromise And Acceptance?

by Byron Seastrunk | Jan 19, 2021 | General, New, Politics

I have no mouth and must scream is a short story by Harlen Ellison. Unfortunately it also very accurately sums up my feelings on American politics. I’ll confess to avoiding Twitter and Facebook. I have my website but I’ve accepted that the stats on my website...

Why All The Negative Political Ads? Are Politicians Afraid Of A Position?

by Byron Seastrunk | Oct 25, 2020 | General, New, Politics

I just finished exercising my political rights by voting against all the candidates so far from my own political views that I had no choice but to vote for their opposition. Looking back on my experience, I realize every vote I made was for the lessor evil. I did my...

A Look At Class Action Suits Using the Google+ Settlement

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 9, 2020 | General, New, Politics

When my sister asked me to write a post on class action suits, I greeted it with all the enthusiasm shown to managers showing up at the last minute asking for a white paper, before close of business. Never mind that the need has been languishing on their desk for the...
Why Are We Allowing The News Media To Manipulate Our Opinions?

I know, I vowed no more political blogs but that was last year. This really isn’t about politics anyway. It’s about the manipulation of our society by the news media. I believe the divisiveness we see today is driven largely by this manipulation. Remember...
Windows 10 Versus Chromebook, What Does Intregity Have To Do With It?

Windows 10 Versus Chromebook, What Does Intregity Have To Do With It?

by Byron Seastrunk | Nov 4, 2018 | Blogging, New, Politics, Technology

I’m writing this on a Chromebook. Think of it more as an experiment rather than a review of Chromebook capabilities. Why? When my wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I saw it as an opportunity to upgrade my computer. A little research and I realized that...
Stop Insulting My Intelligence, A Rant For The Rest Of Us

Stop Insulting My Intelligence, A Rant For The Rest Of Us

by Byron Seastrunk | Apr 8, 2018 | Blogging, General, New, Politics

  • My Quest, Why I Started a BlogMy Quest, Why I Started a Blog
    Role Playing Games try to simulate the way we interact with the world and break the elements down to a few essentials. These essentials are then simplified and incorporated into the game as the designer envisions. For example, my character might be described as having 12 Strength, 15 Dexterity, 17 …
