  • Eros and Ethos Update: First Complete Draft Done!

    by Jason Stotts I’m having a really realizing that it’s true, it just doesn’t seem possible, but I’m done with a complete draft of my first book Eros and Ethos: A New Theory and Application of Sexual Ethics.  It’s been a long hard road of writing it here and there, while working full time, as…

  • The Corruption of The Obama Administration

    by Jason Stotts It should be clear to my readers that I have no love for our current president (nor for our last one, for that matter).  I talked about some of my problems in “Obama and the Path to Tyranny” and now even more more people are fed up with the administration. Buzzfeed has…
