Synopsis

A friend once told me, If we both agreed on everything, one of us would be nuts. Thus, it is not my expectation or objective that all readers of this book be in total agreement with what I have written. Rather, my objective is to stimulate in the reader the incentive to think for himself and rely upon available facts to arrive at improved enlightenment. As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) A nation led by honest, informed thinkers has little to fear from destructive ideologies. No claim is made for any original idea. Everything that follows already has been expressed in different words somewhere by someone with greater scholarship and insight. What does follow is an attempt to formulate fundamental truths in concise, thoughtful entertainment on subjects of universal interest. Wise old heads have always said that wisdom is wasted on youth. One of my friends expressed it somewhat indelicately by saying that, every generation has to learn firsthand the folly of skinning a skunk. It s my sincere hope that readers of all ages of these essays can avoid a few skunks. James V. Lee
