  I have spoken to y'all about the importance of education in earlier posts. Recently I received a couple of responses that indicated a trend toward the thought that education would not stop someone from offending. Wanted to explain some of my thoughts. First let me say that at the time that I offende...

  Of Thinking Blog #1

  by Luke Teixeira 12-31-2012
  Do you refuse knowledge because it does not go along with what you want to believe? This is called intentional ignorance. It is the basis of most prejudice and is a barrier to finding solutions to any problems affected by it.   This issue is relevant to my blog because 99.9% of our population...

  Thought a lot about this entry and what I wanted to say.  In the last couple of months or so the issue of the sexual abuse of children has come to the fore.  Read at least 2 or 3 articles a week in the papers on sexual abuse or pedophilia.  Mostly good info.  And the idea of open...

  Justice Completed

  by Luke Teixeira 09-23-2011
  What does a victim require to feel that justice is served? That is a question that everyone feels they have the answer too.
