These little articles were written to skip around like my thoughts, for only in fleeting moments of inspiration do I have any interest in or insight into politics. My subjects, then, are limited: why I don't vote, who should and who should not lead us, and always a returning to the ideas of those who have guided me. Read if you will, respond if you like. Say something interesting and I'd love to post it here. Write to: editor@alwpoe.com
