  • In Appreciation – 14jul21

    Sell your stuff at the price of courtesy, for that imposes the heaviest obligation; …courtesy not only pays, but it pledges, and it is gallant manner that imposes the greatest obligation; nothing costs a man of conscience more than something given him, for it is sold him twice, and at a double price, that of…

  • Happy Independence Day 2021!

    George Rebane And the message from last year (here) bears repeating.

  • The Blessings of Inequality

    George Rebane We are in the age of trading equality for equity.  Why?  Because equality at the start of any road quickly leads to inequality among the travelers – given equal opportunities, some get further ahead than others.  That’s how it has been, is now, and always will be the human condition.  To the socialist…

  • He is Risen!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…

  • ‘Luxury Floating Real Estate’

    George Rebane Living on a huge manmade island may be the thing of the future for those who can afford it and want to escape from the ever more contested and politically roiling lands that cover about 29% of the Earth’s 197,000,000 sq mi surface.  The first of these islands is being built off the…

  • ‘2034’

    George Rebane This is a heads-up on a good read – 2034 – A Novel of the Next World War that will be published in early March.  It is written by two military and national security heavyweights – Elliot Ackerman and Adm James Stavridis, both ranking high in our national security apparatus; Ackerman in the…

  • ‘No Enemies’

    George Rebane Chartist poet Charles Mackay (1814-1889) wrote a poem he titled ‘No Enemies’, which appeared in an anthology of works celebrating and honoring social protest in 19th century Great Britain, much like the protests that come so naturally to both sides in today’s polarized America.

  • RR commenters are a blessing

    Live with those from whom you can learn; let friendly intercourse be a school for knowledge, and social contact a school for culture; to make teachers of your friends is to join the need of learning to the joy of converse.  Gracian #11 George Rebane In blog years RR is now considered to be somewhere…

  • End of an Era

    George Rebane Puna 6 June 2009 – 30 August 2020

  • Happy Fourth, if you can (redux and up a notch)

    George Rebane On this year’s Fourth our beloved land is in more disarray than in my living memory, and that’s a fer piece in anyone’s book.  Half the country does not know where we have been, what we have done, nor shares a common vision of our future.  These dark clouds were already gathering a…
