nearly always they have succeeded in persuading the guileless and well-meaning."

A blog should...

A blog should be a resource.

Pulling the best ideas--from the web... or just your head--and posting them in a way that helps bring more information and meaning to a wider audience. This should be the goal.

Blogs live and die... you transition through them as you change and grow... this is the third conception of Jim. The current token is "under the name of reason."

Named for the flaws coming directly out of enlightenment thinking and my Methodism.
