Front page — Reader feed — ABOUT ME...

I'm Gherald L. and this is a place to journal and rant inexpertly about whatever interests me.

At present this includes humor, freethought, liberty, laissez-faire economics, pragmatic politics, and foreign policy of the realism school.

“There is always an easy solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.”
—Henry Louis Mencken
