The conflict between Israel and Hamas is horrible and it may be exposing more of our personalities, both personal and national, that we might like. I am not writing to pick sides, just the opposite. In fact, I see picking sides as part of the problem. We’ve been conditioned to…

Sorry this is a little long. Is America in an irreversible decline? Specifically, are we following the same path as earlier great powers like the Roman Empire? You might think so given the number of writers predicting our imminent collapse. As someone who was alive and conscious the last time…

Will, Will, Will. We need to think outside of the box if we're going to deal with climate effectively. Nukes, god love 'em (somebody should) are not a lot more than a post war attempt to white wash Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Atoms for Peace! Right. You have to make nuclear…
