The Weekly Three

Mostly weekly, anyway.

Informed Revolution. I like to think that we are all ready to stand up for what we believe, even if it means the scorn and violence of others. Natalie Manes and the Chicks deserved their Grammys this year because their music is great and they were clear in their determination to be honest about their opinions. I add one more voice to the chorus saluting them.

The right is sometimes right. The ultraconservative Libertarian jingoism of Heinlein might not be your cup of tea (it is not mine) but there can be no denying the power of this novel of rebellion on the Moon. If you have not read this, then now is the time. If you want to be prepared for the revolution to come (wherever you might be) this is your instruction manual. Plus, it is darned funny at times.

Live free. Have a Sam Adams and wash it all down. Our founding fathers had to work for a living when they were not staging a revolution. Surely they enjoyed a cold one after a long day planning the birth of Democracy.
