Hi Swatter Richard, you are profoundly optimistic. I am afraid that I cannot that share that. Man is all to willing, with little pretext, to exterminate each other. The savagery that I have studied that occured last century extends far beyond idealogy or indoctrination in a certain view. It seems n...

I used to be completely up with your blog, but I see time has left me far behind. I am wishing I could have provided more timely condolences; from the bottom of my heart I wish you the best. I think brevity is my ally in this situation. I forgot how much I enjoyed your clearness of thought and abili...

I would consider the ideal leader is one that has the best interests of the people in mind, but his own value system should be the basis of his/her decisions. Otherwise you will have to many people that govern based on polls. A number of the more totalitarian Islamic leaders would say that they alr...

Also, as far as world views I must seem radical right to you. To be honest, you transend what what be considered radical left in the US. Im not implying...
