Marijuana: Not Your Father's Weed

None of this means we need to lock up people for using marijuana. But it does mean we should be honest about the drug’s real dangers. And legalization — with all of the American-style promotion that will accompany it — is the last thing people in recovery, parents, communities — and even our nation — need right now.

Current Quote: A.K. Chesterton

The man who achieved integrity does so only after he has taken his screeching ego across his knee & spanked it into a recognition of the unseemliness of its demands. He learns that what there is of nobility in life lies in disinterestedness and service. …The trouble with most of the highbrow authors is that they have never seen life whole. All that they have seen is the chaos springing from the welter of conflicting thoughts and emotions of the day, and because they lack the true inner vision they have failed to reduce their experiences to any kind of order and so merely fling back into the teeth of chaos a still more reckless chaos tortured by their dithering nerves and mental and spiritual disorders…their products are not art, but rather the denial and negation of art..these spiritual pygmies.

AK Chesterton, March 1934.

From 2016: On The Occasion of Our Tenth Anniversary

On Saturday, May 28, 2016, The Musical Patriot web log marks its tenth anniversary live on the World Wide Web. From the beginning The Musical Patriot has been interested in world affairs from an ethical, philosophical, and artistic viewpoint.

During its first summer, the blog presented a series of posts under the general title of "Theologians Under Hitler," ta2016: king its title from a major book and video by the same name produced by the United Methodist Church.

Economic justice has been a recurrent theme of the blog, and the author has frequently taken less-than-popular positions on various issues from low wages and union-busting activities to unsung political candidates both national and local.

The Musical Patriot was one of the first blogs to warn about the seriousness of the Trump candidacy. This was at a time when pundits of mainstream media were claiming Trump would never be nominated.

Issues also given attention have included music both good and bad, the environment including global climate change, European political unrest such as in Greece, the Russian view of modern American life, and the Chinese economic threat to American economic dominance.

This vast array of issues has been somewhat unusual for a small-scale blog. It has, of course, provided a more interesting and varied menu for its readers compared with single-item blogs.

Readership has recently seen an uptick as readers from all continents except Antarctica have visited and read posts.

Most recently, The Musical Patriot has concentrated heavily on the D. Trump candidacy with the blog writer viewing Trump as essentially a fascist and demagogue. Many examples have been given and a clear picture of the real estate mogul has emerged.

The Musical Patriot looks forward to a continued presence on the web during the critical days ahead. Readers will continue to be valued wherever they may reside.
