  • Good and When Investigation Goes Nuclear

    The tragic problem with nuclear weapons has been up until recently it has been mutually understood that a nuclear war was a lose-lose response assuring many many civilians would die and no one would win. The Epstein investigation went public as the kind of nuclear response only possible only when politics interfere in the administration of justice.…

  • Good, Evil’s Batting Average, and Pandora Shrugs

    The interpretation I heard as a child about the myth of Pandora was her curiosity led her to open the jar or box and the evils escaped never to be collected or returned again.  It was a cautionary tale from adults told to a child to keep the paper clip collection from being stuck into…

  • Good, Corrective Pain, and the CPWP (Comfortable Privileged White Person)

    Being comfortable in your own skin, feeling the privilege of your own blessings, and experiencing a state feeling in oneself as a worthy human being is an internal state for all humans, and is more basic than race. We live in a democracy and apparently haven’t understood that simple, fundamental truth. The truth is you…

  • Good and It’s the Economy and Yet, It Isn’t. Its Amnesia and more

    A nation that can’t lift its gaze beyond the economy is doomed to be lost. Unregulated capitalism is a game of winners and losers.  Unfortunately, we will never be able to  fit in that straight jacket of simplistic logic and the unjust leverage called pure capitalism. America is busy trying these days to fit their…

  • Good, A Satisfied Mind, and the Next Democracy for the United States

    How many times have you heard someone say If I had his money I could do things my way Little do they know that is hard to find  One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind . . . . But suddenly it happened that I lost every dime But I am richer by…

  • Good, the Work Force, and Big Lies

    The calculus of the American work force is not what we are supposed to think.  The meme constructed by the current administration is one of immigrant workers taking American jobs and American workers looking on in envy as their opportunities disappear.  The apparent in-front-of-eyes truth  is the jobs being taken by immigrants wouldn’t be considered…

  • Good and Shooting Ourselves to Death

    War Like a whale, is all consuming Everything fits into its mesh mouth … The bullet is a beast, as are we Our invisible battles are the hardest to win. . . by Amanda Gorman, excerpted from her poem;  War: What, Is It Good? from her book Call Us What We Carry Oddly there is an…

  • Good, and Frozen at 248 Years of the Good Old USA

    Whatever is coming out of Washington these days is clearly not the country our founders created 250 years ago.  In some ways the dream of the United States has been suspended for this writer and perhaps a majority of Americans who cannot figure out how you celebrate a tradition of democracy and freedom while both…

  • Good, Truth Carrying Grief, and the Atomized Society

    History has thrust upon our generation an indescribably important task–to complete the process of democratization which our nation has too long developed too slowly, but which is our most powerful weapon for world respect and emulation.  How we deal with is crucial situation will determine our moral health as individuals, our cultural health as a…

  • Good, The Damage We do, and Lasting Wounds

    Wendall Berry, American poet, essayist, conservationist, teacher and, at root, a farmer provided the following quote.  His words are humble and instructive as we navigate the age “In general I have used my farm carefully.  It could be said I think, that I have improved it more than I have damaged it. The pond was…
