Why this Blog
Too many people are suffering unnecessary pain. My books document why this happens and how we can end such suffering. The purpose of this blog is to apply the same experience, research, and analysis to present-day events.
Everyone deserves the right to contribute to society and to have their needs met. I open these pages for you to share your thoughts on how this can be achieved.
