Paul
My blogs
| Introduction | Paul is a sturdy 49-year-old survivor of two cancers, the Internet boom, and the Reagan years. He comments on the world as he sees it from his home in the Pacific Northwest. Raised in New England, Paul is an alumnus of Deep Springs College, where he honed his rhetorical skills in long conversation with the Voice of the Desert. Later, as a student at Brown University, he developed an antipathy for shallow thinkers of all political persuasions, as well as a non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Paul's most recent plunge into a nightmarish medical morass, a battle with squamous-cell carcinoma, is currently being detailed in the companion blog Paul vs. The Squamous Monster. PvsTSM is ably co-hosted by his loving wife Kimberly, without whom a great many things would be impossible. Ratiocination, started in August 2004, is dedicated to the American traditions of independent thought, rationalism, and basic human decency, in the face of our culture's headlong plunge into the Long Night of conformity, superstition and rapacious exploitation. |
