Some of the big issues
Here are some thoughts on some of the big issues facing us. We are where we are. We can thank both the Republicans and the Democrats for the mess that we are in. Let’s chart a better course.

Innovation is the Answer
Homo sapiens are innovators and builders by nature, programmed by our creator to use our talents and abilities to survive and advance. We are innovators and undertakers of great challenges, rivalling the ants and bees and other industrious species on this planet.

Government solutions are not [...]

Face the Future: Fusion
As the anxious majority in this country try and find their way to a long term political home, fusion voting may be a helpful tool. In Oregon this year, candidates have the opportunity to seek not only the endorsement of other parties, but also the banner of that party as well. Those of us in [...]
