White Guilt: A New Documentary

 

I read Shelby Steele's book years ago, never dreaming how far the White Guilt infection would spread.

Carl Sandburg: "Happiness"

 Happiness

I asked professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness.
And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men.
They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool
      with them.
And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Desplaines river
And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their women and
      children and a keg of beer and an accordion.

Philosophers are Street-Fighters

Nicholas Bate

 Nicholas Bate has long been an inspiration for many of us. 

I've often joked that he is The Man Who Never Sleeps because he is prolific and profound.

His decision to begin writing novels was a serious influence when I decided to follow in his footsteps.

But I have a long way to go to catch up with Nicholas.

As always, both his example and his kindness are deeply appreciated.
