I have 4 fans: Become a Fan. You'll get emails whenever I post articles on OpEd News
I am an ordinary citizen who for the first sixty years of his life was mostly disinterested in politics. Then George Bush and Dick Cheney intruded into my consciousness and I realized politics is important and determines who lives and who dies.
In recent years I have written a series of letters to newspapers expressing my concern for my fellow man and this beautiful planet. I truly appreciate the OPEDNEWS forum as opportunity to help find a way to a better future.

Most of us who contribute to OEN focus on one issue. This piece attempts to show the over-riding constraint to all well-intentioned pieces focusing on an individual concern. Again I'm trying to show why all our efforts to bring the better necessarily must fail.

This is a hopeful attempt to move our commentary beyond complaint and to suggest that there may well be something we 'can' do to prevent senseless invasions and killing by our government
SHARE Sunday, November 14, 2021 It Is Written In Stone
I think our minds, our beliefs are so managed as to render us sheep like. I hope what I have written will open a portal through which even one person can see out of the bubble we live within.

This piece attempts to explain who 'they' are, what makes them tick and our prospects for bringing positive change to these hapless souls
SHARE Friday, October 29, 2021 Join The Ten Percent
I suppose this piece is just another version of "if it has never worked, stop doing it"! This is really an existential issue and really needs be understood in those terms and personal responsibility assumed.
SHARE Sunday, October 10, 2021 Sexual Abuse Most Evident In Institutions
I wrote this piece to reinforce the understanding that there is indeed 'a force greater than our own that shapes our fate'.

It seems strange having to defend a woman's right to make her own choices regarding her own body. I hope talkingabout it will help.

The political system does not work for most of us. This piece attempts to show that to be the case and suggest some thinking we will have to adopt tp bring positive change.

I have attempted in this piece to discuss why it is that those who won the last election seem to wield less power than those who lost.
