Sounds like a Democrat: IDEAS & REFLECTIONS on the news, my impressions, and questions. I'll credit favorite writers and public opinion makers, comment on Congress, the judiciary and the Bush presidency. My interests are in the U.S. domestic and foreign policy issues of peace, security and justice. My views are grounded in the existential questions of finding meaning in suffering, maintaining purpose in life, and defending sanity in an occasionally insane world. My "creative" side comes out at Southwest Blogger.
