tour CM

Over the years, CM has pontificated, endorsed, critiqued, hailed and booed many subjects – controversial ones, even. As a medium, blogging, is presentist and that does cause some frustration to me. Since many posts that have nothing to do with the daily cycle of news and events get tagged and forgotten in the archive bin. Forgotten, until the google-gods smile upon them. Hence, this page. You can read my general thoughts on blogging before or never. I am organizing here, what I feel to be, a representative sample of writings that have appeared on CM. If you are new to CM, start here to get to know me. If you are old to CM and think I missed something, leave a comment, whydoncha?
