Please, look around. My archives are at the bottom of the page. I hope that older posts remain relevant today. I'm more interested in principles and themes revealed by events than in keeping up-to-date with each day's developments.
If you're interested in a particular topic, Categories are listed below in this sidebar. There's a search field in the upper left hand corner of the page, but it's not always reliable. My posts may be updated or links added as new information or analyses come along, even though this breaks some of the unwritten rules of blogging.
For better writing than mine on current issues, scroll down a little to explore a variety of interesting sites.
