On the same page....some recent reading relevant to last post

Here are some titles that I'm reading or re-reading that are relevant to my last post about local democracy:
1.  Winner-Take-All Politics by Jacob S. Hacker & Paul Pierson
2. The Fair Society by Peter Corning
3. The Predator State by James K. Galbraith
4. The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger by Richard Wilkinson & Kate Pickett
5. After Shock by Robert Reich (who, btw, did the foreword to the book above)

And something we probably all need to realize...there are forces afoot designed deliberately to mislead the American public about major issues, including climate change. A good introduction to these nefarious characters is:  Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway.

In time, I hope to post commentary on each of these...but, to put it quickly...read and weep..and then get angry and do something.

Democracy in Action...with a small "d"

Dispatch from Bellingham, 17 July, 2011 Democracy in Action This past Saturday, I discovered another reason to love this place.   I attended a meeting of the “Rebuild the Dream” project begun by MoveOn.org.   About 30 folks gathered to consider ideas for radically reorienting American politics towards a more humane, fair and (small-d) democratic society.   It was a grass-roots call to action, not a top-down proposal.   Earlier, there had been a request sent out through MoveOn.org to propose ideas to improve the country.   From something like 28,000 of them, selected by around 5 MILLION citizens expressing their choices, 40 top suggestions were chosen for us to discuss and rank-order.   I urge all of you to visit the site http://contract.rebuildthedream.com to find the list and the invitation to participate in this process.   PLEASE…do get involved if you share my concerns for the direction the country is taking. Some of you may know by now that I...

Me...a blogger!

Yep.  Me the blogger.  As a former professor who misses the classroom and the chance to pontificate, this looks like a perfect fit.  I suppose it is an ego-trip, but I like to think that I may still have something useful to share with folks.  Mostly, I will be talking about books.  I am a certified book-a-holic, trying desperately to not spend more than I should on books...and failing miserably.  So if my limited income is going to support my local bookstore, maybe I will feel better if I can share what I find with more people and get them to support their local bookstores.  My taste in books runs primarily to non-fiction, mostly science-related texts, but I admit to enjoying what I call "trash" novels...mostly epic fantasy and science-fiction.  I love vampire and werewolf books, especially where the supernaturals are the good guys.  I've read all of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, and all of Charlene Harris' Southern Vampire series...a...

Updates coming

More than 2 years since I posted on this blog.  It is my intention to resume my blogging, for I have a task that is best addressed in this format and not on FaceBook where the discussion was first generated.  Stay tuned for some commentary and ramblings from an old romantic fossil.
