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.)

The Most Notable Event of the Week

Unfortunately, holidays and a non-serious illness have kept me away from this blog for the past week. 

However, I have been staying abreast of events to some extent. 

In my view, the latest Supreme Court attack on affirmative action must stand as the most significant event.  This is so clearly a Supreme Court majority, in general, which is out of step with history, and the direction this country must move in to fulfill its promise of equal opportunity for all.  The subject of affirmative action has its complexities.  But the underlying attempt at justice must be supported.  The arcane twistings going on behind the velvet curtains at the Supreme Court are another form of Dred Scott-ism.
