As I See It: They know not what they do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Aug. 10 of this year, Maura Healey, governor of Massachusetts, signed legislation that put the state in the league with others that allowed abortion at virtually any stage of a pregnancy. As she signed the bill, a crowd of women surrounding her applauded and laughed joyously. Using phrases like, “access to appropriate reproductive healthcare,” “between the patient and her doctor,” and “devastating pregnancy complications” to bolster their actions, abortion in the state will be orders of magni
As I See It: Words — used, misused and misunderstood (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Through the centuries, people have used words and terms to describe themselves and others. Words have often been used and misused to identify, delineate and separate one group of people from another — often with the intention of supporting one group and opposing another group.

Read excerpt

I recently heard a former Minnesota state senator express his position that a politically divided state government is, and will be, better than having either major political party in total control. At first, I thought he had lost it; but after he explained his rationale, I understood perfectly. Hi
As I See It: 250 and counting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I would imagine most professional historians will look on our nation’s 250-year anniversary celebrations with some level of amusement. I certainly believe our country’s history and accomplishments over the last 250 years can be viewed as exceptional and quite noteworthy – but they are also fraught with actions and events that were less than honorable. And we should also take a few moments to reflect on where we fit into the history of the nations on good old planet Earth. Let’s face it, we shoul
