On Craft, Faith, and Liberty
V življenju se nam marsikdaj dogajajo reči, ki jih ne razumemo. Vsak dan, preko radia, televizije in interneta, poslušamo, kako se je nekje zgodila tragedija, drugje je nekdo nekoga umoril, kako je država zopet povišala davke, ali pa kako je naravna nesreča odvzela dom tiso- čim ljudem. Če sledimo vsem tem novicam, se hitro lahko vprašamo: “Ali Bog sploh lahko obstaja, ko pa je vsepovsod okoli mene toliko trpljenja, kriminala, izgube?”
Sem mar jaz kriv da so države evrope in severne amerike zadnjih sto let tako ali drugače, tam in drugje, na “bližnjem vzhodu” sodelovale v vojnah in jih tudi neposredno ali celo posredno povzročale? Sem mar jaz kriv, da so ZDA posredno povzročile nastanek IS? Sem mar jaz kriv, da je to vse delo vojakov … Read more
In this age of definitional relativism it’s difficult to tell people what capitalism is. Most often, when people hear the word Capitalism, they think of what we have today. There’s a lot of fancy words we could ascribe to what we have today and some libertarians try to do so. Alas, with no luck. There’s … Read more
Zadnjič je nekdo na internetu spraševal o Jezusu in o Njegovi identiteti in božanskosti. Marsikdaj se namreč zgodi, da pripadniki semi-kristjanističnih tradicij in ideologij kot recimo mormonizem, jehove priče ipd. preveč zaupajo v avtoriteto svojih svečenikov, duhovščine ali kogarkoli, ki naj bi bil predstavnik ali posrednik Boga na tem svetu. Njihove besede prevečkrat vzamejo za … Read more
If you read my blog, you know I live somewhere in an obscure country of Slovenia in Europe. Therefore we use Metric system of measurement for pretty much everything. It’s easy, since everything is measured in sets of tens. It certainly makes math easy and coherent. Meter as a standard for example is made of … Read more
I can’t remember who was it, that said it, but when your kids take their trash out on their rooms on their own, without parents’ involvement, they can be called grown enough. But in the matters of State and Governance even trash isn’t done correctly. Nothing ever is done right. And yet there are limits … Read more
Načeloma obstajata dva načina da prišparaš nekaj denarja. En je tak, da nekoga nategneš. Nateg bi se naj načeloma ne splačal, vsaj ne na dolgi rok, ker hitro prideš na sezname “nategovalcev.” Slaba beseda se namreč širi mnogo hitreje kot dobra. Problem pri nategovanju ni le slaba beseda ampak predvsem slab renome oziroma ugled. Že če … Read more
Couple weeks ago I decided to do something proactive on a weekly basis. This week, yesterday to be exact, I hiked toPlanica pri Kranju, 824 m. Sure, it might not be that impressive for those of you who climb higher up, but hey, it’s exercise and I just started this month.
I don’t make long exposure photos in the daylight often. The reason is, that I don’t feel like hauling filters around. I made a filter holder a while ago, which holds a welding glass, but I have since found out that it has a few quirks. The glass unfortunately has a few imperfections, which do show in most circumstances.
Z vsakim sprejetim zakonom se premikamo bolj in bolj stran od “Nove Švice” ki so si jo za Slovenijo leta 1991 želeli mnogi. Z vsakim sprejetim ukrepom za omejevanje in z vsako regulativno oviro se približujemo točki, ko bo zelo težko oziroma boleče iti nazaj. Približujemo se nacional-socialističnim sanjam Goebbelsa, Hitlerja in ostalih megalomanov prejšnjega stoletja. Poglejmo torej malce v zgodovino.
