Those of you who, like me, usually start the day with a visit to Master At Arms James A. Keating‘s Ezine MAAJAK World will have noticed that the last update was a week ago today. Knowing Jim lives in the mountains where power, internet access, telephone, and even traversable roads can be an iffy proposition […]

It certainly can’t be denied that enforcement of rules, regulations, and the laws of the land represent the single least popular aspect of government, at any level.

“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, Aphorism 146, Jenseits von Gut und Böse (Beyond Good and Evil) (1886) I’m known to write of darksome things, That spring from man and […]
