Thank you for the invitation to share considerations about the near and reactionary future.

I admire Ann Telnaes' wit and drawings. It is a shame she left the publication but what is a person to do? Leaving the battlefield and saving one's resources in order to fight another day has merit. In contradistinction, hanging in there and doing battle with the forces of evil in order for good to prevail is another avenue of valorous endeavor. What are your thoughts on the issue?
