Meet the New Blog (Not Like the Old Blog)

Perhaps I was away too long.  Yesterday I tried logging in to my old blog, Jefferson's Parlor, and Blogger wouldn't let me.  The blog was still there, but Blogger wouldn't let me add anything to it.

C'est la vie.

Fortunately, Blogger is allowing me to create a new blog.  It's probably for the best.

I began the old blog in June 2006 "to articulate the philosophical perspective, ideas and values" which I believed were the foundations of the democratic movement in the USA.   I was particularly interested in demonstrating that Progressive ideals and values could be traced all the way back to some of the nation's Founders.  I think I accomplished that.

By the time of my last diary there, I had become more interested in political history, psychology, neuroscience and sociology.  I'm doing more research on these topics, so a new blog is maybe even a good idea.

(Which is not to suggest that I had a choice in the matter!)
