Our COVID policy has been suspended and masking … Continue reading A Life of Ritual and Reason

Winston Churchill is credited with the witticism: ‘A Lie Is Halfway Round the World Before the Truth Has Got Its Boots On.’ Ironically, Churchill may not be the originator of that line. But the problem we face in our society is more pernicious than mere ‘Churchillian Drift!’ Lies and disinformation are eroding our reality with … Continue reading The War on Truth
