Now I mean it…This is REALLY my last blog
OK, so I was ticked off when I wrote that last post and I should’ve known better.  On another blog I was labeled a “liberal” (sort of correct, actually) and my family and I were threatened with death.   Sheesh.  The threatening post has been deleted (I wasn’t the one who’d complained…I’m glad somebody else did) and I never felt threatened, really, but it pointed out to me, once again, that I really have better things to do than blog.  I intend to get on with those things. Anyway, as a parting shot/olive branch/denouement, here’s an old column I’d written several years ago (I think in 2002?)  tha
Golden Calf Republicans
Once again, I’m not just disappointed, I’m disgusted.  No, it’s not the Sexiest Man Alive thing; I didn’t really expect to win that. I’m disgusted with the “true conservatives” and “Tea Party” Republicans who apparently have no idea what it is they want; and who obviously have money, time and energy to burn on the altar of their “War On Terror.” It’s hard enough to figure out what it is that you attack.  But what do you defend?  What do you want? O ye idola
You say you want a Revolution?
It’s a little disturbing that one of the most common web searches bringing people to this blog is, “Give me hope, please.”  But what really worries me is how many people are typing, “violence” and “revolution,” to end up here. My fellow Americans, what the !@#$?! are you thinking of?  What is violence going to a
Mea Culpa, and Agonizing Self-Reappraisal
Every now and then, I listen to myself, and shudder. While I try my best to avoid arrogance and prejudice in my thinking, I am (despite what I may have told you) fully and regrettably human.   So in the midst of telling somebody about how I’m always right, and have correctly predicted everything for decades, I stopped.  I muttered a relatively sincere apology and promised both myself and the person I was lecturing that I would think long and hard about what I’ve been saying, thinking…and more importantly, about what sort of things happen in my head when I get so !@#?$ cocky.
Plan B (AKA, the “Virtual Constitutional Convention”)
Of course we’d rather keep the country together, and we’d be completely satisfied with the existing state and federal constitutions obeyed as written.  But you and I know that the likelihood of that is exceedingly small, and that we must prepare for what happens next. Of course we hope we’re wrong.  But monetization of our national debt, now at over 40% of the GNP, almost assures dramatic and awful consequences both here and internationally.  It’s wise to consider both political and economic retrenchment to the most basic
