My friends and relatives have long known that I have very strong opinions on  matters  political,  philosophical  and  religious.    I also love to write. Given my libertarian leanings, I hesitate to impose my views on anyone and therefore limit expressing myself where my opinions might not be welcome. Now, however, you are on my site and just as I can write what I wish, you must make the choice whether to read my musings or not. It's up to you.

Warning:  I have a twisted sense of humour.  Even when I'm ranting about injustice, inequality, stupidity, venality, or my inevitable 'frustration-of-the-day', I have my tongue planted firmly in my cheek.  Hyperbole is a tool.  Irony is a daily reality. Puns rule. You have been warned. 

Have fun reading the articles linked below.  Most provocative are the 'Dear Zachary' letters I write for my young son.  If you are looking for a specific topic (politics, religion, philosophy, etc.,) try using the search field below:
