Issues

Blue Moon Musings

A series of modest proposals.

Knowledge is Necessity. You - yes, you - determine the issues, not those who claim to speak and write on your behalf. From listening to thousands of you, I know that your number one concern is getting well and staying well. I address that concern with everything I've got in the other sections of this site.

What you will find here are some of my personal musings and jibes at the establishment. We have a lot of things to be angry over, but the purpose here is to give you something to think about. Anger keeps us stuck. Thinking moves us forward. If you find something here that informs you in your recovery then I have tapped into a real issue. You be the judge.
