The Rational Ram

Greetings to my readers. I want to make three points in this blog post for conscientious consideration. Before I make my points, I provide a definition of the term “qualified immunity” and a synopsis on how it works. Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine that “protects public officials from being sued for damages unless they […]

Greetings to my readers. Though I open this post with a photo of former Franklin Templeton employee Amy Cooper (and dog choker..er..I mean, walker), this post is not going summarize what she attempted to do to a bird watcher in New York City’s Central Park, one Christian Cooper (no relation to Amy Cooper), who is […]

Men tend to unconsciously seek admiration and women tend to unconsciously admire the real accomplishments of men, whether they are interested in a man romantically or not.

Greetings to my readers. I am not going to summarize the senseless murder (yes, murder) of George Floyd in this post. As I often say, unless you live under a rock or do not have access to the Internet or a television, you know the story. The links below are for those who may not […]

This post is a continuation of my previous post outlining the reasons the Millennial generation are finding suitable dating and marriage options difficult to obtain. I ended that post by pointing out the general truism that women cannot, and often do not, submit to men simply because they are men, but rather submit to the […]

Preface: These six simple rules may or may not make you a millionaire (see rule #1), but they will enrich your life. Just remember that your net worth is not your self worth. Rule#1: Remember that “being rich” is relative. There are a number of factors that determine whether a person is considered “rich” or […]

A Facebook post graciously shared by my wife inspires this post. But first, a preface… The quote above is widely attributed to late physicist Albert Einstein. However, he never actually said or wrote this quote, though he did express in his many writings his fear that our technology could be misused in ways detrimental to […]
