NewsKing.com
started off as a personal website featuring a mixture of philosophy and
news. Since 1998, it has grown into a family of websites that includes
[neoNewton.com,] ...HomelandInsecurity.org... [, NewsKing.org, and VoyageKing.com]. |

| When I first
started NewsKing.com, one of the topics I wanted to discuss most was the
apparent gap between science and religion. As I explored that debate, I
began to move into other philosophical topics. Eventually, I began to explore
some rather complicated topics, and it seemed as though no one had very
much exposure to those topics. |
| Initially,
I'd hoped my journey would yield a genuine scientific hypothesis.
I didn't understand the relationship between philosophy and science.
As I broadened my search, I discovered elements of fun and fantasy
in this journey, as well as opportunities for meaningful insight,
but I nevertheless kept my proposals as scientific as possible. [The
resulting philosophical essay, featured at neoNewton.com,] shows there
is hope for those who journey in search of truth. |

[Some of the] event[s] [that eventually] laid the foundation for HomelandInsecurity.org
[seem to have begun] [d]uring the presidential election of 2000, [when]
the problems associated with hanging and dimpled chads became familiar to
many people... [...] As the election controversy progressed into December,
I became increasingly annoyed. [...] [At one point,] I called the Clinton
White House and presented my [own] theory of what had gone wrong with the
ballots. They thanked me and I never heard anything further. [...] I was
very close to publishing the theory on my website, or attracting attention
in some other way. And then one day, while I was on the phone having a heated
philosophical discussion, my phone emitted a strange beep. I laughed it
off and said, "they won't do anything unless they perceive a threat."
Then the phone went dead. It was weird, and I was scared. I still don't
really know who or what it was. |
| While
I want readers to try to take such matters seriously, I have to laugh
at some of the decisions I've made... [...] One of my mistakes may
have been too little emphasis on my feeling that people need to find
some way to come together and avoid future mistakes, although people
must be free to disagree with one another. Often, I just have to grin
and be thankful that there are people who dismiss it. At the same
time, I, and everyone else, deserve some room to argue our point. |
|
...I do not think it is impossible for humanity to reach a common understanding
about certain issues... [...] In the 21st century, we will undoubtedly learn
more about the universe and our place in it. By increasing awareness and
knowledge, we can help move societies and individuals toward a common understanding. |
