Welcome to Alternative Ideas. Providing a platform for new and different voices. Tuesday, October 9, 2012. This is the text of an article I wrote which appeared in the MetroOccupied's second edition in June.]. Society is said to be based on the maintenance of law and order for its social “stability”. This is done through either the creation, or the appearance, of legitimacy and. Today this is done through a limited few powerful mass media outlets deciding what information is to be disseminated.

Welcome to Alternative Ideas. Providing a platform for new and different voices. Monday, July 19, 2010. The lost art of Integrity. We no longer hold these things dear. It used to be that a 'man' was only as good as his 'word' and that honesty meant. Something. It was all he had. Now certainly it would be nice to expand that to 'person', as opposed to just a 'man', but the fact of the matter is that it just doesn't mean that much anymore to anyone. That, we condone. His is way life. Even if this happens i...

Welcome to Alternative Ideas. Providing a platform for new and different voices. Saturday, May 15, 2010. In Greek Debt Crisis, Some See Parallels to U.S - NY Times. It’s easy to look at the protesters and the politicians in Greece. Yet in the back of your mind comes a nagging question: how different, really, is the United States? Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Yet I can't get anywhere. And you know why? So what then do I do? Is it even worth it? Take the initiative, but more for those with the money to dictate.

Welcome to Alternative Ideas. Providing a platform for new and different voices. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Is Freedom Truly Possible? But what about freedom, the other way around? If one person has the freedom to do whatever they want, doesn't that automatically impinge upon everyone else's freedom? Inherently, if I do something, that effects another person. If I stand on a spot, you can't stand there. If I have the freedom to do as I wish, that means you can't do something, it takes away. That is accept...

Welcome to Alternative Ideas. Providing a platform for new and different voices. Wednesday, March 20, 2013. You can't be in here." The guy works there, sorts his mail, delivers the food he eats. Anyway, the real point that I would love to examine here is the construction of and the concept of a servant, and thus the segregation of servants from their "masters". Why is it that the wealthy do not see it fit to co-mingle with their "inferior" servants? What does this do to a society and to people? Rich peop...

Welcome to Alternative Ideas. Providing a platform for new and different voices. Thursday, January 20, 2011. A place for nothing. What is it that the world is made up of, what got us here, and what keeps us going? Is it even a "belief system? Many would argue it is not, that these people are soulless and without any guiding light. I have long considered myself an atheist, yet as you read these pages, would you say I have no belief system? Where does this belief come from? Or does it just come from within?

Welcome to Alternative Ideas. Providing a platform for new and different voices. Thursday, March 28, 2013. Marriage Equality, The Same as any Equality? Be disallowed entrance into any type of interpersonal or legal engagement for whatever reason. You marry. Those against the allowance of marriage equality says that if I as a man marry a woman, not only am I allowed to do this, but I am entitled. That inherently states through its inherent and unavoidable action and outcome that men and woman are NOT.

Thursday, December 13, 2007. South Korean Scientists Clone Glow in The Dark Kittens. For the longest time, I've held the not very popular opinion that North Korea is the greatest Korea. Today, I am pleased to report that although I still deeply respect and admire the wise, fair and balanced leadership of socialist revolutionary superbrain Kim Jong Il. Recent news has forced me to revise my views. I am now firmly in the pro-South Korea camp. I'll be getting myself a midnight snack with the lights out and ...

Single K.O.: November 2007

Thursday, November 15, 2007. Max Fleischer was one of the earliest pioneers in the field of animation and in the early days he was Walt Disney's main rival. Many of his shorts are very quirky and surreal and hold up very well even today. Here are a few of my favorite Fleischer cartoons. Ko Ko's Harem Scarem (1929). A man steals a chicken and escapes the police only to inadvertently wind up in a Kafkaesque nightmare world located at the local cemetery. Betty Boop - Bimbo's Initiation (1931). Betty Boop is...
