Peg's Blog Spot
Like most people, I have a lot on my mind, and I'm offering here whatever
I consider worth sharing with others from among all that "stuff." Mostly, this blog
consists of my research and reflections on issues I believe are important for our
culture and our world, as inspired by my growing concern about the contemporary context in which
facts and reason seem to have taken a back seat to falsehood and propaganda.
I do my best to do my part to counteract irrationality and intolerance via social media, but
I find that's not enough, at least for me. I really wanted a place where I could write a bit
more thoughtfully and somewhat longer about an issue than I could in a Facebook post or an email.
I have a particular point of view that does not align well with a perspective
that might be labeled "conservative." I do try to be fair and rational in my analyses,
but I make no bones about my deep unease over the direction I see my country and culture taking,
particularly during and after the 2016 election, and that
comes through in my writing here.
The blog is not interactive. If you really want to contact me about
a blog post, you can always email me. (Civil disagreements welcome; trolls need not apply.)
The blog titles/topics are listed below.
I plan to add new posts on a regular basis, so do check back. Enjoy - and
thanks for reading!
