Although this site's primary emphasis is physics, it seems well advised to comment on other matters in the present world climate.  Essays of this nature can be linked to from the list below.  Comments from others, accompanied by requests for inclusion, are welcomed and their thoughts will be hosted without prejudice (provided they are not obviously loony and peppered with comments like "The WTC victims were all Nazis...").  Your fellow citizen, GRD.
