The Blog

Hello to all interested and intrigued individuals. This was originally designed as an outlet for political commentary and discussion. I still wish it to hold that primary goal, but I plan to add to this site, commentary on a topic which touches my heart greatly; the education of our population. One cannot distinguish between a meaningfully active citizen and and educated individual. This is not to say that all people who are educated are academics, professors, teachers, politicians, doctors, or lawyers. Instead this suggest that people who have been taught how to think critically, be it a welder, plumber, telemarketer, mechanic, politician, academic, or lawyer, will be able to decipher and formulate conclusions making them capable of meaningful participation in the political life of their nation. It will be this aspect of education which will appear occasionally in my observations and opinions presented on this page. The questions of how to foster critical thought in youths and adults alike is a great concern of mine and of anyone who wishes to have a powerful democratic nation.
