A reader's journal sharing the insights of various authors and my take on a variety of topics, most often philosophy, religion & spirituality, politics, history, economics, and works of literature. Come to think of it, diet and health, too!
E.J. Dionne, on the website Truthdig (quite a good site, with Chris Hedges weekly) offers his take on the Obama speech and realism. Dionne makes some good points. Worth reading: "Squaring Idealism with Realism".
