He summed up his importance and that of the attendees as “… pretty extraordinary that we [a] select group of human beings (attendees) because of whatever touched us at…
Have you ever thought you might be a libertarian? Maybe you think you are but you’ve been confused by apparently conflicting views of some libertarians. It’s true that there are different types of libertarians. Here’s a video that can explain some of the differences between them. Broadly speaking, libertarians are individuals who advocate for a…
St. George’s Day, the national holiday of England, comes and goes every April 23 with little fanfare in the United States. And apparently not a lot in England, either. That’s a bloomin’ shame, if you ask me. As I posted on Facebook on April 23 a few years back: Happy St. George’s Day! How best…

The end of the COVID-19 pandemic may now be in sight, with two vaccines making the rounds and a few more on the way.
