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.

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...

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 ...

Is Anybody Thinking Whatsoever?

See my comments below......    Let me explain further. According to Catholic dogma/teaching, they must oppose abortion "in all forms."  See the Catholic Catechism, which clearly states in 2272  "Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life"  Therefore, Catholics CANNOT vote for Hillary Clinton. If they don't like Donald Trump they have to find an independent party they agree with and vote for that person. They would be sinning according to their own religious worldview if they actually voted for Hillary Clinton.  link to Catholic Catechism  (on abortion)    Catholics should also consider the Catholic sin of "scandal." It is a sin for them to vote for Hillary Clinton. To quote the Catholic Catechism, "Therefore, they are guilty of scandal who establish laws or social structures leading to the decline of morals and the c...
