Most of  the essays that appear here originally appeared as opinion editorials in the Alabama Gazette, a monthly newspaper published in Montgomery, Alabama.  I have edited them a little for presentation here, and hope to publish them as a book. This page contains a menu that will take you to pages for categories of essays, or you can go to specific essays from this page. Because this entire website is a continuing work in progress, these essays are subject to edit, and I am likely to add new essays from time to time. New essays will be color coded blue.
