How politics may become self-destructive. Witness how the Democratic Party, in opposition everything Trump, has been forced into really lunatic positions. This is textbook on how pure politics can induce total disfunction.
This happens when a political party takes up positions merely out of pure opposition no matter how insane as opposed to taking up positions that are actually rational and beneficial whether or not those positions agree or disagree with the opposing party’s platform.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
