I am not well-traveled nor have I accomplished a great many things. I do not know a lot of people and I don't expect to become very wealthy in this life time. Any insights I might happen upon in my verbal meanderings on life, on society, on politics, on literature, on media, on film, on whatever, come not from some wealth of personal experience, but from the very private thoughts of my inner self as I look out at the world as an outsider looking in.
