When freedom is intellectualized it can be mitigated by intellectual method, made less, and less, and less, and less… When understood by the heart, freedom is inviolable. Environmentalists are the ultimate pragmatists (posted earlier). James Foley found the truth of ISIS within the savage murder of a noble human being who was in pursuit of the truth (posted earlier). I once terrorized my two children by telling them that thousands of people clipped their toenails on motel bedspreads that were never changed. In every motel we stayed the kids suffered, the bedspreads moldy, creepy, and in the room. Sorry: Cait and Conor, the bedspreads are washed and changed once-in-a-while … And, I love you both. An unfettered, freed idea may not be an umbrella in a storm but it can lead to that -- a portable sanctuary -- an imprisoned idea will lead inexorably to drowning in even the weakest of deluges. Happy Thanksgiving (late: sorry). Please give to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence/ One Broadway, Suite 210/ Denver, Colorado, 80203/ 303-839-1852 Comments are closed.

A carbuncle is a roiled mass of skin or a beautiful gem. The incredible gem is pictured in the logo below and at the bottom of the short story section...
Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website (there has been a very limited editorial input in some of my work). All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits are vetted, investigated, though after the summer of 2018 my vetting has lapsed: (6/1/21).
