Howdy Constituents, welcome to the sixty-third electorate of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, always let your conscience be your guide.
Due to Hurricane Sandy I’ve been off from work for 11 days now. Unfortunately, where I once could sleep 12 – 15 hours straight, my career consciousness is programmed to wake up ea [...]

Howdy Constituents, welcome to the sixty-third electorate of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, always let your conscience be your guide.

HACK № 49: Freedom Is The Write
Howdy Patriots, welcome to the forty-ninth declaration of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, it takes a strong constitution to swallow the American Dream.
Patriotism Is Lame
Fuck Independence Day. Not the movie Independence Day. That movie’s pretty good, I’m watching it right now. I don’t even mean F [...]
I Don’t Belong Here: Breathe Wi...
I realize I will immediately be dismissed as a crank the moment I say this, but conspiracies happen. Think about it for a moment after your immediate emotional response of “Oh, that’s ridiculous!” and you will see that I am right. The literal definition of “conspire” is “breathe together” — con- [...]
HACK № 46: Unions of Opposites
Howdy Laborers, welcome to the forty-sixth organized protest of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, I’m looking for a friend with benefits.
First of all, I really could care less about all this temporal human nonsense. My knowledge on this very subject is scant at best, so don’t expect a lot of detail or corroborat [...]

Events have overtaken me. No new piece this week. Here’s one worth seeing again from a few years back:

I Don’t Belong Here: Same-Sex M...
I’m just going to put this one up in the air, because I guess someone has to. There is no legitimate argument against same-sex marriage. None! Or rather, put more accurately, any legitimate argument against same-sex marriage is also an argument against marriage itself in general. That’s the shape of it. I’d rather be talking [...]

Let’s talk a little about where society seems to be at right now. It’s only 9 months away from 12-21-12… and whatever is supposed to happen, there’s no sign of it coming yet.
Not pictured: A human being
Speaking of nine month periods of time, that reminds me about something I keep wanting to talk about. The whole idea [...]
HACK № 33: A Fool’s Purgatory
Howdy Troglodytes, welcome to the thirty-third totem of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, remember that March is just Marc with an ‘h.’

Francis Fukuyama wrote this pretty famous essay in 1989, The End Of History, later expanded into book form in 1992. The fall of the Berlin Wall had just happened, and with it the decades-long Cold War started to finally evaporate like the bad dream it was. Fukuyama argued that this end of the Cold War was not just any other old event in manki [...]
I Don’t Belong Here: Digression...
For the first time ever, here’s all the Digressions! Digressions #1, #2, and #3 were originally published in If You Don’t Give Me Heaven. Digressions #5 and #6 were originally published in Heroes And Hierophants. Digression #3 has never been published anywhere, and Digression #7 is brand spanking new! Whatever THAT means.
Digressi [...]
