Here are some possible future blog topics:
1. Politics and spin. What we all want is the plain truth, but we don't get that. How I hate spin. For example: The Republicans hate teenage pregnancy, unless it's one of their own. Then it's OK.
2. Are we our brother's keeper? When should we intervene, and when should we call the cops? Local and international.
3. The role of religion in society. Do these traditional ideals guide us?
4. Literature today. Where is the next great American novel, or even decent American novel, or even decent novel? Where are the new Faulkners, the new Hemingways, the great young writers?
5. Are we Democrats too namby-pamby? Are we cowards? Maybe, in some cases. Are we too politically correct?
6. Our limited knowledge, of schools, of the war in Iraq, of many of our hot-button issues. We speak before we think. We have opinions without knowledge.
7. Is the war in Iraq truly God's will? How do we know God? Can we know God?
Thanks for reading.
