You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've two talented kids; the younger mentioned my stopping with the lectures. Then enthusiastically asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

History, Uncommon Sense, Law
Communists like Islamists, both have a government system, forced upon a population by no real will of the people, but by some elite transfer of selected by powerful to ascend to power.
Communists are also, from Marx (not Groucho), the antithesis or rather rejection of the religious optimism of Georg Hegel, and so many blame Hegel for the communist ideology. Many early Christians, likewise, were responsible for the writings of Mohammed’s Koran. Especially a Christian widow from a monastary is credited with writing the Koran because Mohammed was illiterate. One idea justifying the Christian outreach to the bands of desert hoards of thieves and unifying them was that eventually, once unified, Christianity would be seen as superior, and the now unified peoples would magically switch to Christianity … or at least bridge over to it.
The closest thing to happen is the Black Liberation Theology, which believes in ‘Collective Salvation’, so each person doesn’t have to participate to be saved as long as they ‘collect’ together with the group that is being saved. Pope Benedict has called this ‘Demonic’. It does mesh well with communism’s idea of ‘party power’.
However, the Black Liberation Theology, jettisons the theology away from Christianity into Islam and leftist communism. It reminds me of IBM as they approached the thief, Bill Gates, who stole the computer operating system known as DOS from the inventor, a professor, who in turn sued Bill Gates and won a whopping $50K. IBM was thinking that they needed ‘now’ a working system that beat out the Apple II (Wozniak and Jobs creation). They, IBM, would later recover with a better operating system, and they did have one, an early very good multitasking system …. but it was too late; Gates had his hooks in everywhere…. it was packaged with every machine sold, and IBM gave away to every manufacturer another invention called ‘compatible factor’, like the ‘collective salvation’, where every machine was different (a microprogram on the main processor), which was like a tic, but usually didn’t affect the operation of the machine enough for people to abandon it. David Bradley, a professor of mine here at Florida Atlantic University, personally cursed himself for inventing this because he said it made multiprocessors impossible to manage …. until the next invention, probably in 2006, by Intel licencing from Patriot Technologies …. a technique which nullified the ‘compatible factor’ and it’s ‘cludginess’. Years after the 1981 invention, David Bradley was given a brass plaque and a $10K prize from IBM for saving the PC from Apple’s superior reliability…, but weak until they had a cheaper RAM memory system available. DOS, you remember, utilized the disk drive for it’s needed RAM, which was like going to a super slow backup for critical information, but allowed more complicated programs to progress more easily.
