My Comments: A conversation last week with an attorney friend again revealed a world which is far more complicated today than seemed possible just a few short years ago. An expert in family law, he said tens of thousands of new laws have entered the books across these United States in the last three decades. …

Remember Eric Snowdon?
My Comments: The more things stay the same, the more they change. Or at least I think that’s how the saying goes. I’ve had mixed feelings about Eric Snowdon from the beginning, wondering if what he did was not in our best interest as Americans who relish our freedoms. Our knee jerk reaction was to …
David Cameron’s ‘Little England’ is a Myth
My Thoughts: As you know, I have a bias toward England and a bias away from right wing politics. The re-election of Cameron as Prime Minister at first caused me to envision woe and gloom as the next few years rolled by. It still may, but harsh reality from time to time results in a …
400 Again
My Comments: I'm starting to get a little worried. Florida has about 1350 miles of coastline. Our elected governor, the one I saw described this morning as a ‘very empty suit’, says he doubts there is any global warming going on. I'm far from being a doomsday fanatic, but to doubt there is something negative …
Florida and Federal Money for Florida Citizens
My Comments: You may have read about this already. Or some version of it. I’m really not a fan of Rick Scott; I see him as a shill for the hospital industry who got himself elected governor. His ethics, values and focus are not consistent with mine. This was written by a Joan McCarter and …

Public and Private Morality
My Thoughts: I read this morning that there are now about 16 candidates from the right whose names are more or less officially in play for the Presidency in 2016. One of the defining characteristics of most of them is their focus on morality, theirs, mine and ours. After reading these comments from Robert Reich, …
A Bumper Sticker World
My Comments: A conversation this morning with an attorney friend revealed a world which is far more complicated today than seemed possible just a few short years ago. He remarked that tens of thousands of new laws have entered the books across these United States in the last three decades. It’s impossible to know the …
To Lobby, or Not To Lobby, That is the Question
My Comments: I admit to perverting the title to this article (Lobbyists Pervert Politics And Earn Their Infamy) which appeared in the Financial Times recently. But it points to a problem that may have no solution, at least until the clowns who inhabit our Congress feel enough pain to find a solution. But it most …

America Will Lose Patience With European Appeasement
My Comments: It is much easier to imagine a future as an extension of the past as seen in our minds than to visualize a future with totally new and different dynamics. This is where I have a problem with leaders like Israel’s Netanyahu, with the likes of Rand Paul and others on the right. …

Clinton And Gender Politics No Simple Matter
My Comments: Unlike many men, especially those from the Middle East and other parts of the world, I’ve never been troubled by a cultural dictum that says women are inferior. I have no problem responding to real leadership no matter where it comes from. I have other faults but I don’t think this is one …
