  • Good and When Moral Distress becomes Fatal

    In this writers home state 21,000 people could lose medicaid services thanks to the new federal legislation. It can’t be that different in other states. Forget red state and blue state and lets just think in terms of dead or… Continue reading

  • Good, Waiting for Godot , and Unlikely Strangers

    Somehow Samual Becket’s Play “Waiting for Godot” keeps percolating up as I watch the inevitability of this political season unfold. Whatever one thinks of our current President, the nation such as it is, and its Supreme Court, have conceded the… Continue reading
