I love to talk about politics. That’s probably a good thing considering I have a Ph.D. in political science! What I don’t like about politics is all the bickering and fighting between parties about who did what and how evil or bad the other party/person is.
Absolutely, dialoging about what went right or wrong, the value added or taken away by political actions, or negotiating over ideological differences is important. The problem is that in the US and other countries around the world, we have lost focus on the people (if it was ever there) and are concerned more about dollars.
Here, I post my thoughts on politics that come up in my world, either locally or globally. I look forward to any comments people care to share and dialoging over the differences!

- The Failure to Take a Broad Approach to Terrorism
— Having researched and taught about terrorism for years, I find the US approach to terrorism…dumbfounding.
- The Battle for Sanity
— Media often uses words in ways that do not relate to their real meaning in order to misinform the public. Theory is one such word.
