To those outside the US or even the South may see media do coverage on the ‘one year anniversary’ of Hurricane Katrina. The media coverage of that hurricane greatly impacted my local region and showed how a bunch of sheep people are. The coverage of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans was atrociously bad with the…

Senator Lieberman (D) narrowly lost a primary to newcomer Lamont tonight. What does this mean and why am I posting about it? Senator Lieberman had been a Democrat senator for, I believe, 18 years. Only six years ago, he was the vice presidential nominee of Al Gore in the 2000 Presidential Election. Two years ago,…

One of the advantages of being Pook is that I have access to those who have been around my nation’s ‘leaders.’ Think of Chaucer who got stuck between the high political class and the rest of us peasants. It has always been in my family history for my ancestors to be “serving” the noble class…

Part of the gloom and doom that exists in the Men’s Movement is a wild misunderstanding of politics. But this is not unique. Most (failed) movements end up with one conclusion: “The end days are upon us!” Most of my formal training was in this field. And, let me tell you, I was very incorrect…

Every interest group proclaims Rome fell because their cause was ignored. Environmentalists blame the fall of Rome on lead pipes or other hazards. Religious people blame the fall of Rome on social decay. Gays blame the fall of Rome on not embracing the fictional Greek gay life-style. Classicalists blame the fall of Rome on the…

By individualization, I mean cutting off one’s family, mocking Nature, and marching to the drums of rhetoric from quacks. Aristotle answered that such highly individualized beings are either…

Attention all you mediocre males (for I will not call you MEN). You like to spew all sorts of speeches, essays, and words over anyone that will hear you. You smoke your words in a pretty pipe to null yourself to girlish comfort and gooishness. You, who say, life is to be survived not to…

Have you noticed that some people are more ‘animated’ than others? Most people live as if their flesh is a cage. There is nothing electric coming from them. They hold no charisma. They are…dull. Here is a revealing experiment. Take people and make them do a speech. Now, many people despise public speaking. They fear…

Like a good Pook, I checked my mailbox and found a letter filled with ambitions and dreams. At the end of the letter was this: Yet there’s still something that worries me and this is the reason why I’m writing you. Time is the only parameter I can’t control in my life. I always fear…

In museums, one can see the remains of barbarian type people. These ancient barbarians believed that the Human Form can be molded by Human tools consisting of rings, hooks, and cords. One said: “This child will never smell the perfume of a peace-pipe unless I stretch his nostrils.” Another said: “He will never be able…
