Going on 'The View' instead of meeting any representatives from the Middle East? Have you lost your goddamn mind!

Pitching Tents in America: The Pinewood Derby Has A Whole New Meaning

Pitching tents is the least of the Boy Scouts' problems.

Thoughts on Bringing Back the Duel For A Civilized Society

by Jim Kopetz

Yes. You read that correctly. Ruminations on why dueling (and just to be clear I do not mean sword-fighting, but the challenging and acceptance or denial to a shootout) should be re-legalized.

Scabs

Two young children are sitting in their breakfast nook, eating breakfast cereal. It is late Summer/early Fall. Their mother is upstairs and 8.5 months pregnant.

Blanket Lies

Something Simple

A couple of weeks ago, a debate that I was having with Jeff Warzecha drew the interest of Jim Kopetz, and the latter asked me to start writing articles for preludetotheendoftheworld.com.  After reading a few articles, I agreed.  While I probably don't agree with everything Jim thinks or writes about, I respect his opinions, and find they raise questions on things people should be thinking about, but usually aren't.  They lead me to wonder what I should write about for my first contribution.

I thought, "Well, while the ideas Jim presents can often be considered controversial, I ought to play it a bit safer, on account of this being my first written piece for the site".  Caution is the best approach.

Therefore, I'm writing about why our inability to question the U.S. political backing of Israel is total bullshit.

AA and the "Guided" Ethos

by Jim Kopetz

Alcoholics Anonymous equates addiction with faith, not science. Is addiction a spiritual crisis, a biological condition, or as Doug Stanhope describes it, "simply liking things more than life"?

A Remembrance of Hitchens Through Martin Amis
