Some News items. But mainly personal opinions that may be unreasonable, without warrant, meaningless and shameless but relentless and consistent as a blinking light. Of course there is that story about Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, the guy who discovered and named oxygen & hydrogen and executed during the reign of terror. He purportedly asked a servant to see if his eyes blinked after he was beheaded. No one could prove the story. But maybe we can see after death.

But it seems that a lot of the country, at least those who speak out about their government feel a complete lack of faith.
