  Jon Reed Goes Off On: Western Civilization







From the farce we call "Earth Day" to the "Signs of the Apocapyse," Jon has a lot to say on the subject of our so-called "civilization."

Here are some of my favorites:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Jon braves a community theater production and comes back the better for it.

Life According to Nietzsche:
Applying Nietzsche’s Most Powerful Ideas
to the Problems of Daily Living

A very different, practical take on one of the most important thinkers of all time.

Signs of the Apocalypse
JR unveils his list of the telltale signs that the end times are drawing closer.

Abortionists, Suicide Bombers, and American Morality
JR responds to an ill-conceived editorial in USA Today.

Earth Day is a Farce
A motivational rant

The Quincentennial: Native America at the Threshold
"There is no statute of limitations on fraud." In this ambitious piece, Jon takes us through 500 years of turbulent Native American history, and explains why the unresolved conflicts of the past have created issues that all Americans must now reckon with. Through interviews with local Indians and advocates, he uncovers some hidden history, sheds light on the ongoing struggle for energy resources, and raises questions about the true meaning of the "Quincentennial." Jon concludes that "despite the barriers of prejudice and poverty, there is legitimate cause for hope" for unexpected reasons.

Hello Mr. President
Jon may not be totally psyched on all aspects of the modern world, but he's not quite ready for George W. and Jerry Falwell to flush it down the toilet by starting World War III.
