Heading To An Undisclosed Location

No, not Dick Cheney.

After a year and a half of steady work, I'm finally going to take a vacation. And while I don't have a big ranch on which to cut brush, or a friend to take into the woods and shoot in the face, I can still make do with a visit to my old home state of Washington. It's a beautiful place for those who've never tread there before. I last went up three summers ago for a week of camping in the Olympic National Forest. Here's a sample...

This time, I'll be taking the family to the other side of the state to stay with and visit some family.

I won't be online for about a week or so. My family is great, but when it comes to computers and modern technology, they make the Geico caveman look like Einstein. But really, that's just fine with me. After all, part of 'getting away from it all' has to include taking a Common Sense break too.

See you all around the Easter weekend. Be good to each other.

Common Sense has two distinct parts for you to read through. The essays listed in the Archives represent my comprehensive political platform. I suggest reading the first two posts from 1.4.05 (A Return to Common Sense) and 1.5.05 (What is Common Sense?)in that order to get a sense of who I am and why I write. Current posts discuss today's issues and examine whether Common Sense principals are being applied or need to be introduced. I sincerely hope that you read with an open mind and a desire to make the world a better place.

The Circumstances of the world are continually changing, and the opinions of men also; and as Government is for the living, and not for the dead, it is the living only that has any right in it. That which may be thought right and found convenient in one age may be thought wrong and inconvenient in another. In such cases, Who is to decide, the living or the dead?

Democracy is never an all or nothing proposition. Take from these thoughts that which you will, and apply them generously. For the seeds of Common Sense abound in these essays, and they are for all of us to share!
