Tolstoy on the “Justification” for War

November 23, 2025November 23, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

“The first and crudest form of reply [to Tolstoy’s  previously publish book “What I Believe”] consists in the bold assertion that the use of force is not opposed by the teaching of Christ; that it is permitted, and even enjoined,

Idealism

November 23, 2025November 23, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

In response to those who argue that humankind inherently evil, and to strive for no war is inherently foolish: “To let go the requirements of the ideal means not only to diminish the possibility of perfection, but to make an

Good Guys vs. Bad Guys?

September 23, 2025September 24, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

I listened to a far-right podcast the day after Charlie Kirk’s assasination to hear the response to the tragic event. What disturbed me about the podcast was the near constant verbal attachment of their political movement to God and Christianity.

The World Needs Peacemakers

August 24, 2025November 23, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

The world needs peacemakers: people who will standup for the cause of peace, who will not shirk in the face of constant talk of war and preparation for war, who will verbally speakout, rather shout-out: “WAR IS WRONG!” Today is

They Appropriated the Graffiti

July 31, 2025August 16, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

In my hometown, a mostly post industrial Midwest city, “they”, appropriated the graffiti. The City had a huge graffiti presence–amazing work, which offended the upright within the region, while the rest of us were fascinated by it. A new sheriff

Oligarchy vs. The People

July 13, 2025September 25, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

Oligarchy was a word seldom expressed before the early 80s. In the U.S., oligarchy didn’t seem to exist; it did exist, but for most people, the oligarchy was not very noticeable. The U.S. class structure has since dramatically changed. The

Trump, Musk, Oligarchy, & the Federal Debt

June 8, 2025July 14, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

Workers must be dismayed when, arguably, the two most powerful people in the world, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, engage in a public, tit for tat argument, over a budget bill which enriches their own–Trump and Musk, economic class, while

Rockers Against War

Anti-War President?

April 27, 2025July 14, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

I don’t want the following to turn into a partisan bickering match. All president’s claim they want peace, but, Democrat and Republican alike, they all engage in war–all war should be condemned. My intent here is to address the current

Trump & the Far Left: Common Ground?

March 7, 2025July 14, 2025 by Michael McCormick B.S., J.D.

Positioned on the far left on the political spectrum, there are few areas where I find common ground with President Trump. Trump, however, is correct on Ukraine: It’s a war which never should have happened. I generally try to avoid
