"It's class warfare and my class is winning." Warren Buffett

The value of any commodity, ... to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. (Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations Book 1, chapter V.)

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works....(Barack Obama)

I’m Back

It simply came down to this: I missed blogging too much.

During the past 3 months, things were happening locally and elsewhere that I felt a strong urge to comment about and I said nothing. For example, I sat out the health care debate in Congress when it reached its critical stage. The things I wanted to say then, but I thought I should give quitting more of a chance.

I was busy though with teaching and I will be in the months ahead as well. But I did develop a work pace that left me with more time than I imagined I'd possess. So I'll be able to do both: do justice to my job and blog.

I'm back.
