What This is For Is...

I've been wanting to create a blog like this where I can post all my thinking on more or less a day to day basis and not be confined to one topic in particular. I am tempted to think that many that I have known in the past erroneously think they are incredibly "astute" on me, yet no one can account for what happens when one is a new creature in Christ. The matter can become incredibly difficult for the "pharisees" of life to sit down and define in clear terms. I'll do everyone a favor and write on a regular basis.
    One of my favorite passages in the Bible relating to that type of problem (when people in the world have trouble "interpreting" a work of God) is John 9:13-34. The Pharisees thoroughly interrogate the man born blind who was healed by Jesus, and they interrogate his parents as well. God did a work and a healing with on/through me that is hard for people who do not believe in Christ to relate to. One would have to believe that Jesus Christ lives and that he still heals, and that he still brings to life that which is dead.
   I was tempted to call this blog "Since You Are So Astute On Me...", however that has a sarcastic and negative overtone.
   There is no one way that I will ever be able to communicate everything that I should communicate. However, I can communicate a great deal of what needs to be communicated. In the end I might feel like I said too much. Then I will regret not having said enough. This has been a pattern with me for a long time.

Nice Dissenting Opinion on the Fairness of the Criminal Justice System

   I was recently having a conversation with someone about the possibility for unreliability and/or unfairness in the criminal justice system. I was reminded of this quote from a Supreme Court case which is from Justice Harry Blackmun's dissenting opinion. The case was Darden v. Wainwright 477 U.S. 168 (1986). Obviously he's talking about the Supreme Court level, but if this could be said about their accuracy, then how shall we communicate about fairness at the trial court level? "JUSTICE BLACKMUN, with whom JUSTICE BRENNAN, JUSTICE MARSHALL, and JUSTICE STEVENS join, dissenting. Although the Constitution guarantees a criminal defendant only "a fair trial [and] not a perfect one,"  Lutwak v. United States,   344 U. S. 604 ,  344 U. S. 619  (1953);  Bruton v. United States,   391 U. S. 123 ,  391 U. S. 135  (1968), this Court has stressed repeatedly in the decade since  Gregg v. Georgia,   428 U. S. 153  (1976), that ...

We Have Freedom of Speech, right?

   How come everyone seems so afraid to speak against the real politik in our country? We used to have lively political discussion and dissent, and now people with minority opinions seem scoffed at and outcast. This is a bad trend, don't go in that way. The first amendment was set up with one of the intentions being that people would be able to criticize those in charge. It is unbelievable that people could say that a scenario happened like Pearl Jams' "Dissident" describes, and these things happen on American soil?    The 1992 Presidential election is something to look to consider the way things used to be. Third party independent candidate Ross Perot was considered as having equal weight as the two other candidates. There was a strong freedom of the thought in the political spectrum. Perot's money went a long way for him. All things considered, though, billionaires still exist. Where are the Ross Perots of our time, then, who are not afraid to jump in and shake...

Link to my new book- "The Semantolkino'hara and Its Applications"

  The book has a been long time in the works, and you can get it now on magcloud. Thanks to the many who helped.    This book is what The Glorious Scenario magazine was supposed to be. It makes a more concise statement than a multi-issue journal, though. The raw creative materials involved in the discussion have many applications and tie-ins across subject areas. The template of the semantolkino'hara will give its user acumen. The Semantolkino'hara and Its Applications: The Eschaton, Musicology, and The Name of God By David Black 122 pages, published 10/10/2014 A practical music theory and composition system became a template for understanding a union between disciplines- music history, musicology, eschatology, social science, and more. The whole effort started with a simple serial analysis of Trish Phan's "A Letter" and became a huge undertaking once the implications...
