Can We Talk?

Posted on October 1, 2022October 8, 2022No Comments on Can We Talk?

I don’t like small talk.  I can appreciate a casual, friendly conversation, and I like to think I’m a pretty good listener. But it’s hard to enjoy small talk because I’m not very good at it.  Part of the problem is that I can’t relate to most of it, as I have very little in … Continue reading Can We Talk?

Just Like Us

On the last day of February in 1983, two men entered the basement of an abandoned Victorian home in St. Louis, Missouri.

Instead of promoting an idea on its own … Continue reading What’s Wrong with the Right?

No Good Reason

In my previous post, I spoke of politics in terms of liberal and conservative, rather than Democrat and Republican. That’s because my chief focus was on philosophy, not on party. But since left and right in our society are virtually synonymous with the two major parties, I may as well address the elephant in the … Continue reading No Good Reason

Conserving Liberalism

Posted on June 21, 2021No Comments on Conserving Liberalism

The terms “liberal” and “conservative” are obviously relative; what’s liberal in one century might be conservative in the next. But one thing remains essentially the same: conservatives fight change and liberals fight for it. How we judge the liberalism or conservatism of any time or place ultimately depends on what’s being changed. If it’s good, … Continue reading Conserving Liberalism
