This page consists of a number of short thought pieces that will probably never develop into full-blown articles. I have had many thoughts about many things over the years, and this page gives me an opportunity to write short essays and post them here for whatever interest they may hold for you. If you read any of them and wish to respond in a productive manner, simply send a message to my email address.
