The Difference Between Philosophy and Ideology
According to StreetAffair
There was once a question posted in a social medium about the difference between Philosophy and Ideology. Being against quick answers, those that slip thoughtlessly from the brain lips and the physical lips, I thought deeply about it.
When people think of philosophy, their minds typically envision the image of personalities such as Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Kant, Nietzsche, Hume, and others we consider luminaries.
What we find when reading any of these bards of...

Government, the good and the awful
The past is full of authoritarianism, of human control. These systems of government have a self serving mechanism and exist more stably when a government that takes control of roads—those that drive us from A to B and those that lead to our own imagined destination—give them to us in the form of gifts.

THE FIFTH NIGHT
By C.V. NÓR The cops might wish to come for me after reading this, but I have no choice but to confess my crime. First let me state that she was the love of my life, that I never meant to hurt her. Just kill her. But not kill her just to kill her, but [...]

Upside and Downside of Online Business
Let us start with the bad news. People like to touch before they buy, and that is bad for an online business trying to get off the ground, quickly. Accentuating doodads on a saffron-dyed, “ultimate” nightwear ensemble might be appealing to the eye lost in the tendrils of a shiny iPad screen, but like a [...]

Removing friends
Unfortunately, I must remove some people listed as friends from my Goodreads. I do not know all of you, and moves to acquire support in some of my literary endeavors have backfired in unexpected and unsavory ways. While some might not have been unsupportive, when one doesn't know where the shots come from, one must do a whole sweep. Friendship is an earned and deserved spot. If I have cut some wonderful friends accidentally who deserved my esteem, a note to correct the mistake will be appreciated. Thank you for your understanding. Followers are always wonderful, and I thank all those who follow me.

For the Empire’s Throne (p2)
After such a long wait, For the Empire’s Throne (P2) is coming. I apologize to those who have waited so long, but my indecisions about the best way to bring it forth to the world have caused me to put it off, much to my pain and chagrin. Not absent from the delay has been [...]
Part 2 For the Empire's Throne
After such a long wait, For the Empire's Throne (P2) is coming. I apologize to those who have waited so long, but my indecisions about the best way to bring it forth to the world have caused me to put it off, much to my pain and chagrin. Not absent from the delay has been my painful knowledge that Elves in stories are pretty much dead, or at least not as popular as they once were. After presenting them in Part 1, however, I can no longer replace them. And it would be a hard thing to do: I have lived with them, breathed with them, tasted of their beauty and wisdom, so that it would be like parting with a part of me, even if they are only "mentions" within the greater scope of the story of Maxina Varlk.
Regarding publication, I'm considering bringing Part 1 under the arms of the new publisher, with a new and better cover, with the story re-edited, though with no major changes to it.
As a Thank You to my readers and reviewers, I’ll be giving part 2 of For the Empire’s Throne for free to 20 people. All you have to do is request me as a friend in Goodreads, and review For the Empire’s Throne (Part 1), either the old or new, upcoming edition. I will pick the names randomly from my list. It doesn’t matter if your reviews are positive or negative. Honest opinions, whether positive or otherwise, are a helpful tool for writers, and allow us to improve our craft to satisfy the most important people in the world, our readers.

Socialism in Practice
Socialism, a state of affairs in which an elected or oftentimes self-appointed authority controls the means of production of a territory. Such means of production constitute factories, farms, and everything else that produces a product for use or consumption, such as food, technology, oil, etc. One of the tenets of socialism is that property and [...]
