A few days ago, while working on a family archival project I came upon some letters mailed, shortly before my birth, in the summer of 1942. As I scanned the letters and envelopes, I noticed the postage stamp - 3 cents - For Defense: Security. Education. Conservation. Health. Sixty-five years later, it seems to me that, as a nation, we fall short on all counts.
I am not a happy camper.
Posting to this blog will allow me to share some of my discontent with the current state of our affairs. I am not an academic and will speak plainly. If my language sometimes offends, deal with it by reading elsewhere. But if you are a regular guy (or gal) as concerned as I am about the state of our nation, perhaps something I say will strike a chord and you'll share your thoughts. If you disagree - that's quite alright - feel free.
So, this is a beginning. From now on, you'll get my 3 Cents worth on a variety of subjects.
