Tossing Pebbles in the Stream

This blog is my place to sit and toss pebbles into the stream. The stream of Life relentlessly passing before us. We can affect it little. For the most part I just watch it passing and follow the flow. Occasionally, I need to comment on its passing, tossing a pebble at it to enjoy the ripple affect upon Life's surface.

Lessons of History

Empires come and go. The unsuccessful attempt at creating an American Empire will never succeed. Those who aspire to create one can only read, with envy, of the great Empires of the past. I suspect they don't read much history at all for the lessons are not being learned.
