The fresh new-born baby of 2018, having long ago atrophied into a wizened old man, it is now time to say good-bye to a year strangely and unexpectedly filled with hope, albeit alongside bizarreness on a level never seen before in the U.S. executive branch.
But time to move on it surely is. I am in process of understanding how this blog can be most useful. This process, and a holiday rush, have meant a slowing of post frequency here in recent times. It seems clear, however, that there is a place more than ever for rationality, study, and civil discourse. This last statement may seem counter-intuitive what with raging "twitter wars" and the like.
At least we can say the American public is no more enamored of the banality, frivolousness, and sheer cruelty which can be on today's Internet. They still, more than ever, want to be called to honor their better selves.
Perhaps, perhaps it is just possible there is a quite valuable role to be played by bloggers. And perhaps the uncertainly of now opens up a golden opportunity for patriots, even of the musical kind.
