Neil’s Saga
The reverberation around the world after the fall of the final Empire wasn’t as nearly bad as most thought. Even without the prospect of cataclysmic elimination by an emotionally crippled giant, most countries did not fight and war like they once did. Certainly pockets of discontent and resistance to each enclave of governmentis continued like they always had. Even the dissidents wanted their own form of control. But as real markets returned and materialized the exposure to the instant communication age made the values of peace and prosperity greater than ever imagined, with a conscience and eye towards environmental preservation and whatever control man still believed they had over real matters of the Universe. The first Asteroid observation center on the moon was dubbed Asimov.

Ralph’s Moving Castle
Sometime in 2006 when I was petitioning to get on the ballot up in Saratoga Springs, I came across a women who started shouting (almost shrieking) about Florida and the current mess in Iraq. This was not the usual muted … Continue reading

Kos Mills ?
This post is based on a trip to Williams College on January 16, 2008. The intent was to publish it within a day or two of the event. Having failed that (a faulty washing machine and playoffs to blame) here … Continue reading
Take my Senator, please !
During Meet the Press this last Sunday I asked my five year old if he knew who Hillary Clinton was. He did not. He thinks Ron Paul is President. When I indicated that she was his Senator and running for … Continue reading
The Conspiracy
I’m always reluctant to engage in the internecine feud amongst libertarians. It takes so much time explaining why you’re right. Apparently an off the cuff comment I made on Last Free Voice was enough to evoke a complete entry from … Continue reading
Pure Party Politics
Michigan & Florida don’t count for the Dems this time. Delegates are the game now. Good old fashion politics. If the media casts an eye on Senator Clinton’s victory in Michigan as something gained or worthwhile they are surely the … Continue reading

Thy Neighbor Eliot
It’s not uncommon for famous people to come to Columbia County, NY. I’ve chatted with Frank Serpico at the gazebo in Kinderhook as he talked with the migrant workers (in their native tongue) from the local orchards and fields. They’re … Continue reading
