Overview

I have been writing blogs for a decade or more, and at the request of several supporters, have decided to put a selection of those blogs together. In this age of historical amnesia, perhaps it can provide some historical perspective on our politics, our crises like global warming, our food habits, and our ways of thinking. It can also demonstrate the power of one person's work in the aggregate and over a wide range of subjects--something that blogs appearing one at a time cannot do. I hope it will also provide an example that writing and thinking a matter through are still things of value in our 140-character culture.
