Spider and Fly

It may be an American thing, or a Western Culture thing... Maybe it is generational, and fading therefore--not necessarily a sad loss in the repertoir of human behavioral impulses... But it is a fact, many people will, without a second thought, cheer for, hope for, and take the side of the underdog in any conflict. It's the old Carpman Triangle (That's 'Carpman', not 'Cartman') the dyanmic between Persecuter/Victim/Rescuer in which the Rescuer jumps into a situation to save the Victim from the...

About this Blog

I've been asking the Universe to explain itself to me since I was about 11 years old. I asked specifically how to reconcile God with Science. Now and then, I seem to tune in on an answer.
