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.)

Gratitude in the Summer

The news of the world as presented by our major media is enough to make one want to emulate the snail by curling up inside a very comfortable shell. Yet as one reflects on the many beauties of this world -- the forgiving sunshine, the bending boughs yielding to the breeze, the birds who with their chirping seem not to have a complaint -- we find reasons to be grateful, even happy.

Certainly, the cares of life will be with us. Yet aside the cares, are the pleasures, the little winsome ways of our friends, the momentary tokens of hope which remind us of something beyond ourselves -- a something which, if we choose to so see it -- is friendly, watchful, caring.
