Another View

The approach of this Blog is to go below the surface of an issue or a development in society in such a manner as to provide another perspective, or to stimulate thinking about an angle that is not being explored sufficiently, or to give another interpretation that has merit. It is not intended to be an abstract academic paper. At the same time, it is not intended to be an instant analysis that overlooks important considerations.

The commitment is to post Another View on the morning of the First Thursday of each month.

The composition of the 116th Congress is consistent with the demographics described in “Its All about Power Part 2: The Demise of Patriarchy in the 21st Century”, written and posted before the results of the US election on November 6, 2018 began to be reported.
