still Here

Well, I  still here, unable to blog but enjoying the Chris Christie meltdown. For those of you of a more serious turn of mind, Jackie Jones' new book, A Dreadful Deceit , is brilliant. The work now being done by the finest American Historians is far better than anything being done by sociologist or economists or political scientists or philosophers.

    I trust my judgment over anyone else's. Recall that Hume's Treatise was panned!

    don't miss "Long Walk to Freedom" the film maker touches briefly on DeKlerk and his religious motives as the necessary partner to Mandela's leadership. in a world that usually sees religion as a cause of wars, it's an interesting tale.
