“a nation of whiners”
So, General Wesley Clark thinks we are a "nation of whiners." Bravo! Why is it so difficult for us to hear criticism? I’ll ‘fess up here to being a world-class whiner. I whine when the weather is too hot, or to cold; when my dinner is too late, or too early; my weight up; when…

Who am I?
I am just beginning this blog, although I registered at this site some time ago. I am interested primarily in the following topics: politics, books, literary criticism. I am 55, a recent empty-nester who has sent 5 children out into the world. My husband owns his own textile quality-control business, with laboratories in Salt Lake…
