About me

Location	Midwest, United States
Introduction	I realize that I'm a mere pawn in today's landscape, but I'm a willing pawn, because I dare to believe that I can make a difference. I am not a hater, nor do I have a myopic vision of reality. The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times, and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false.
