[March 18, 2018] Last year I began a new blog thread to give a brief summary of leadership topics I like but could not get into sufficient detail. The clearing the spindle post today focuses leader morality. Settling scores: a lesson in revenge. When I was a kid, if another boy tripped me on purpose, I was likely… Read More »
[February 16, 2018] Last year I began a new blog thread to give a brief summary of leadership topics I like but could not get into sufficient detail.

[November 16, 2017] A couple of months ago I started a new blog thread because I simply could not write about all the topics of leadership I wanted.

[August 20, 2023] Investigations into what caused the apocalyptic blazes on parts of Maui will continue for years and, to no one’s surprise, the outcome will be unsatisfactory.

[June 4, 2022] New York Post opinion writer Miranda Devine gives what I believe is the best analysis of the recent elementary school mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. With an article (see link here) with the same name, she points out that we should not be surprised the Uvalde police stood aside while a crazed gunman was executing… Read More »
[June 9, 2021] On several occasions, I noted a tendency for Western media toward an anti-democratic bias (see links here, here, and here).
