Georgetown University recently got national attention for acknowledging its participation in, and benefit from, the institution of slavery. It seems that Georgetown Jesuits kept meticulous records of their ownership and sale of slaves. So they know exactly who was affected. The detail of that history was documented and made public by the University. It should be commended for starting a potential healing process on such a charged issue.

Thoughts about current issues making news in Central Ohio
Trump’s Unpredictability is Dangerous
At this point in my life my political goals are fairly simple. I want my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to grow up in a free country. And I don’t want them to ever suffer the horrors of war, especially a nuclear winter spawning kind of war!!
Comrade Trump on Immigration
I just finished watching Donald Trump’s immigration plans. What a magnificent idiot!!!
Clinton or Trump For President??
I have decided it is time to declare my support for Hillary Clinton for President. There is no longer any doubt in my mind about how I will vote.
Trump Supporters Think I’m Unfair
WOW!! I must be doing something right! My critics think I was too hard on Donald Trump in one of my recent blog posts.
Clinton and Trump are Both Wrong on Trade
The political conventions are finally over. It seems time to begin to assess the candidates competing for the Presidency of the United States. The first issue I am going to write about is one that the candidates seem to agree on though both are wrong – International Trade!
Kristin Boggs May Be a Keeper!!!
Those who know me or read my literature also know that I have a generally low opinion of politicians! So I was absolutely astounded to meet one who may actually be a real person who cares about making life better for all Ohioans!
Strange Christian Behavior This Election Cycle
This year we are faced with the worst two candidates for President in my lifetime. I wish we truly had a competitive choice. If he had any real chance of winning I would vote for Gary Johnson. I share much of his philosophy of national governance – MODERATE fiscal conservative; MODERATE social liberal.
Trump Was Scary Tonight
I just finished watching the Trump acceptance speech tonight. I will think more about it in the coming days. But my first impression is that it was really dark and frightening. Two impressions I got were especially disturbing:
Give Melania Trump a Break
What is all the fuss about Melania Trump’s speech last night. I would think Democrats would be thrilled. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!!
I know I feel lots better now. After the harsh rhetoric of the Republican presidential primaries I am encouraged to discover that the Trumps secretly admire the Obamas so much. That probably means if Trump is elected President he and Melania will try to emulate the Obamas’ example of quiet elegance as well as rational governance policy!!!
Black, White, or Gray??
