Not starting over, but adding chapters

Oct. 7, 2014
        


            This is my first posting on this blog since Sept. 30, 2012, when it was sabotaged by people who do not want you to know what they do and how they do it.   Since then, I have been busy writing a weekly column for the Carroll County Times, short stories, essays, and for the past few months, a novel -- What Price Eden -- about the consequences of giving up our public policy decisions to those who would exploit people, land, your rights and the future of our country -- locally and nationally -- for their own personal gain and power.
              It's an old theme; as old as the bible stories of men and tribes warring over who owns the land, who makes decisions, who God loves most.
              I will continue to write newspaper columns as long as there is a newspaper willing to run them, and I will supplement what appears in those in this space whenever I have something to post -- it may be daily, or it could be sporadic. I also plan to write more stories and novels because only in fiction can you leave the press agents behind and get down to basic truths about the spectrum of human behaviors that affect everything from our personal wealth and safety to what kind of lives out grandchildren will have because of what we know, what we stand for, and how we want to be remembered by history.
