Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Taking Stock

The last couple of days have been a time for reflection and taking stock of the true state of the nation. For quite some time the true state of the nation has not been something the President could convey in public. And by "quite some time" I mean something like a lifetime. It seems that Franklin Roosevelt was able to both describe the nation's woes and yet offer true hope. This is why he was loved and why many homes displayed a photograph of the President. But before and since Mr. Roosevelt, truth-telling of the deep kind has been hard to find emanating from Washington, D.C..

So one is left with what one can glean from press sources and friends plus the ubiquitous television which has replaced the Greek oracle in both function and fondness.

Let us hope for and work for a better foundation for true hope. For hope must be part of that greater Truth we all yearn for, but less frequently believe to be real. Again -- let us hope for and work for a better foundation for true hope.
