Hate Crimes in Indiana

September 10, 2017 Ron Nesler

Hate Crimes in Indiana are more common than in most other states. Because I live here, and because I am a member of the human race, I own this shameful problem. My powers to fight against this evil are limited, but I do what I can. What I CAN do is to admit this ugly evil is common, widespread and unspeakable. I can speak up to shame the wrong doers, and try to force change by shining the light of public scrutiny on this evil. Anyone can do these things, and if you don't, you are part of the evil. Silence is complicity. Silence gives tacit approval, and encourages evil. Tell your neighbors.

Dead People

September 10, 2017 Ron Nesler

A few days ago something reminded me of an old and close friend, now long deceased. At the thought of them, I went off on a mental stroll through the past, and I treated myself to a warm replay of my time spent with that person and of all the quirky (and unique) features of their personality, which caused me to love them and to be their friend in the first place. This was pretty pleasant, and it got me to thinking about…………….

Medicare for all

September 09, 2017 Ron Nesler

I am not a policy wonk or an expert on health insurance. But, I read a lot, and I pay attention. One thing I know for sure is that health care is a basic human right. If you don't embrace that obvious first principle, you forfeit any claim to being civilized, and don't deserve to be in the conversation.

Other things I know are that ………………………………..

Black Lodge Coffee Roasters

September 07, 2017 Ron Nesler

Here is yet another reason, that New Harmony is wonderful! BLACK LODGE COFFEE ROASTERS

Ron is a regular here for the best coffee within several hundred miles. Sold by either the cup or the pound. They have some amazing scones and other baked goods too! Their coffee is sold by the cup, but their main product is a variety of freshly roasted coffee beans by the pound, either whole or ground to your specifications. Their fresh roasted coffees are all that we use at our house. HUGE difference between their coffee and what you are drinking now. Try it.

Ron’s razor, a political litmus test

September 06, 2017 Ron Nesler

I have a devised a political litmus test, I call it Ron's Razor, and you might find it useful in cutting through all the bullshit. It is this:

—- If one's joy, happiness or success depend on causing suffering among weaker persons, that one is an asshole. —-

Dip Jeff Sessions, Jim Tomes or Larry Bucshon in that, and see, if they turn red.

Legal Weed, let’s have some FACTS

September 04, 2017 Ron Nesler

I am not so bold as to suggest legal weed for Hoosiers. But, I will suggest, that it is time to stop ignoring the issue, and have an informed conversation about it.

I have not used weed, since 1984. Despite the fact, that I have two medical conditions, for which cannabis is an effective treatment.

The major REASON, I have avoided weed completely………………….,

A defense of (some) Republicans

September 03, 2017 Ron Nesler

Here is a NYT's article about some sane and helpful state health care legislation passed by MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS.

Here is a quote from that article: “This is the type of risk-mitigation tool that the feds defunded in an effort to sabotage Obamacare,” Mr. Lourey said.

Here are my take aways: Health care reform is possible. I salute these patriotic Minnesota Republicans, who have placed the public good above the sort of revenge politics that we have from the Tea Party assholes in the Hoosier GOP. This is living proof, that NOT ALL Republicans everywhere are hateful, mind dead, bigoted assholes

Here is a footnote: On the advice of my psychologist/therapist, I recently took up using the word asshole(s), when referring to people who truly ARE assholes. It is enormously therapeutic. I recommend it.

You are NOT powerless

September 02, 2017 Ron Nesler

Note to ordinary human Americans. You are NOT powerless. You are being lied to about that. And, lots of other stuff, too. America is in a huge culture war. The weapons are lies against truths, the stakes are all of the wealth of the planet, and the battlefield is YOUR opinions. The only way you can lose, is by doing what you are doing right now, being submissive and NOT opposing the lies.

To win, you just need to ……………………………………………
