Philosophy of Cosmic Forces, Cosmoses
Cosmoses is a force that controls all aspects of human endeavor. Described in this paper, Cosmoses consists of five forces that exist without our knowledge yet are our constant companion. Every single human act is controlled by those forces. This paper describes Cosmoses in terms that make it accessible to anyone who may be interested in understanding Cosmoses.
The Lie Detector
When is truth true and a lie false? This paper examines the nature of the relationships between them. Here we explore these propositions: In our lives there are really very few facts. Events in our lives are flexible; truth is flexible. What happened is what happened. No matter how hard we want to, we can’t undo the past. Or can we? Ideas exist because there is something which knows or perceives them to exist. What role our perceptions play in this. So the question is what is truth?
Economic Forces of Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigration is a daunting problem. This paper addresses the economic perspectives of the various stakeholders, starting with the perceptions of those most affected - the illegal immigrants themselves - and then examines economic points of view and impacts of other stakeholders. This paper does not deal directly with politics or political opinion though they certainly play a role in dealing with illegal immigration. The research presented here covers the period of December 2005 through July 2010.
