  • Rebalancing Our Perspectives

    2025

    It’s time for us all to share our toys in the sandbox. As the world rapidly enters an eye-popping and mind-bending spectacle, as the US ‘leadership’ wields its oligarchical bid (“I’m the king of the castle, and you’re the dirty rascal”, and ‘Capture the Flag’), it is imperative that we keep two key issues in…

  • Engaged Citizens

    2025

    Yesterday I took proactive steps as an engaged citizen in my community.
