This month’s top ten discussion topics
The Top Ten change on the first of every month!
The Tea Party
In 2009, the Tea Party burst like a glorious firework in the American night sky and then disappeared. Where did it go? It was co-opted both from the top and from the bottom of American society. Let’s Review! The Tea Party movement is said by some to have been born out...
The Magna Carta
On this day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, it would seem to be a good time for some reflection as to why the British are still nominally tied to the monarchy, and why we, here in America, seem to care. First it must be acknowledged that England is a monarchy in name...
A Subsidy that’s Working
Many spend their time and efforts wagging a shaggy finger at America’s big cities, bemoaning the crime and predicting economic and moral disaster. Allow me to point in the opposite direction. The CBS Sunday morning show this morning took time out from their...
Climate Change

AI for Medicine
The July/August issue of Discover magazine carried an extensive four article look at Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine. By the way, I still object to the misnomer artificial intelligence because the word artificial connotes inert and unresponsive which digital...
The Inevitable Third Party
There have been third party movements in the past, but the likelihood of a successful third party is increasing rapidly because of the dysfunctionality of both the Republicans and the Democrats. This post will take a look at the newest attempt. On July 27, 2022, A...
