Quick update

Posted by on September 21, 2009

I’ve been neglecting my blog recently out of simply having no time to sit down and write!  Lots of work, lots of traveling.

I wanted to write something about the current health care debate raging in the US, but it’s difficult to synthesize thoughts into a coherent posts as there are so many aspects to it all.

So my simple observation, and the one I find most compelling, is how in a county that so prides itself on freedom of speech and freedom of expression, public discourse can so completely and utterly fail.

When you have a system of government that separates powers and relies in part on compromise to function, it should promote civility and understanding, not discourage it.

I guess America just has a long history of arguing with itself.  Some things will never change.
