This is an attempt to put together chips and pieces of our nations historical past and experiences, forming a basis. It is also an attempt to draw a coherent view about some aspects of social life under the conditions and breadth of the United States Constitution. The chips and pieces are critical events that have determined the different and strange paths of social life each of us has chosen or must live out willy-nilly, feeling, thinking, doing, or acting. If you are still interested in living well in the United States and elsewhere, these events cannot be overlooked or ignored.
