HE'S WRIGHT
by Hector Alamo, Jr.Great Leader of Today
I've often been afraid that this generation lacks passionate and powerful leadership. I've always looked to history with a wishful eye hoping that our time would be blessed with a Martin Luther King, a Malcolm X, a Bobby Kennedy, or a James Baldwin. I think my wish has come true.

DANGEROUS THOUGHTS
by Hector Alamo, Jr.Keeping a Job
Blogs can be a liability if what you post is borderline controversial or leans far to either side of the political divide. Sex, religion, and politics are hot-button subjects, sure to arouse anger directed towards what you're saying.

DANGEROUS THOUGHTS
by Hector Alamo, Jr.
People are always telling me that I should watch what I say in public or what I post on this blog, because it might affect who hires me in the future or what not. I'm always hit with the same, old conservative American adage: "There are three topics you don't discuss in public: politics, religion, and sex." To that I answer back, "Is there anything else more important than those three subjects?

SCIENCE OF THE SEVEN-YEAR ITCH
by Hector Alamo, JrI hate to say it, but I told you so. (Actually that's untrue. I love to say it.) Lifelong monogamy in human sexual or marriage relationships is completely unnatural. And those words aren't from my brain.

THE HOLEY BIBLE
by Hector Alamo, Jr.Two things sparked my urge to write today.

What got me was the lame defense the now-famous Shirley Phelps put up for her family's stance on homosexuality.
