PROGRESSIVE’s: A View From The Eyes Of An Independent
Author: Steve Witherspoon
A Diamond Is A Character That Scratches Every Stone!
I'm just another person that's been around the block a few times offering their opinion about the observed world around us. I don't write every day so don't expect daily instant gratification, I write when I see or hear about something that is morphing society and the urge strikes me. I started blogging in May 2017 creating the Zoltar Speaks anonymous blog and in May 2019 after writing in a few issues of InBusiness Magazine, I then decided to shift over to this blog making the choice not to be anonymous anymore.
If you find any links that don't work, typos, or serious grammar problems anywhere on my blog, send me a message using the contact form and I'll look into fixing the error.

Teachers, Concealed Carry, & Protecting Students (UPDATED)
This is an old Zoltar Speaks! blog post.I have no problem with individual teachers concealed carrying a firearm for protection but if they are going to do so in a school environment there should be some base standards applied for such a privileged.

When is “abortion” not immoral?
This is an old Zoltar Speaks! blog post.I've been seeing arguments from pro-choice abortion activists that are intentionally modifying long standing definitions to fit an agenda instead of using the definitions as they are. This is not parsing the words of an existing definition, this is not simply misunderstanding an existing definition, they are literally … Continue reading When is “abortion” not immoral?

Intelligence Has Been Set Aside!
My faith that intelligence will maintain its hold on the vast majority of the population and overcome the growing divisional hate within the population has taken another major hit recently. A friend whom I consider a very intelligent person and a moderately left leaning independent has recently been consumed by the anti-Trump resistance propaganda. This is … Continue reading Intelligence Has Been Set Aside!
Do Motives Determine If Behavior Is Ethical?
This is an old Zoltar Speaks! blog post.I once posed the question; Is the perception of behavior what makes the behavior ethical, or is it the motives behind the behavior that makes the behavior ethical, or does it take both? I have come to a personal realization that only the perception of the behavior is what … Continue reading Do Motives Determine If Behavior Is Ethical?

Is “TPSD” Self-Evident?
