Back in the Saddle

Posted By TomInReston on June 30, 2009

I’ve been away from this blog for too long.

May was a wierd month, culminating in the death of my father over Memorial Day weekend. His passing was not as traumatic for me as it might be for most people — he and my mother split when I was nine and we had an intermittent relationship for almost 50 years. Still, the loss of a parent is always guaranteed to mess with your mind. As is dealing with the aftermath.

That said, it’s time to catch up.

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.
