Regrettably, there is a fair amount of egotistical rubbish on this website.   This is especially true of the stuff I wrote when I first started work on it.   Fortunately for you, most of this will not be visible to you unless you specifically select the alternative index, which is the last option on My Home Page.   You may find some stuff there, which is worth viewing. Most of it isn't.

Of late, I have attempted to take a minimalist approach.   I have begun to see the value of the minimalist maxim: "Less is More".   Indeed, I have begun to feel that I should step aside altogether, as a human being with a huge ego, and concentrate on simply providing links to the "Wealth of Wonder", which is available on the World Wide Web.   You might be interested to know, which literary genius it was who coined the phrase: "Wealth of Wonder", to describe the Internet's great wealth of riches.   That would be me!  

Obviously the selection from the World Wide Web, which is included on this website, is all my own, so my ego is still involved.   I make no apologies for that.   None whatsoever.   If you don't like it, go away and do better.   It's easy enough!   HTML is a cinch to learn.   What is more, The Good People at W3 Schools are willing to teach you for absolutely nothing!   You really have no excuse not to learn HTML, if you have any wish whatsoever, to communicate your ideas to the world at large.

Most of the stuff on this website is for entertainment only.   However, there is some serious stuff.   This includes A Small Section on Climate Change.   However, the one thing I would really like to do on this website is to draw your attention to the work of Naomi Klein.   If I can bring this remarkable young woman's work to the attention of even a thousand people before I go to meet my maker, my life will not have been in vain.   This lady truly has her finger on the pulse of life in the 20^th century.   In particular, she is aware of a systemic evil, at the heart of the largest and most powerful country in the world, which would, quite literally, make your hair stand up on end!   But this is no alarmist nutcase I am talking about.   This very intelligent, cultured and well informed young woman is one of the world's most respected journalists and writers.   You will often see her work in the Comment and Debate section of The Guardian.

Naomi Klein's book, The Shock Doctrine, is probably the most important book of the 21^st Century.   I suspect it will continue to be so for a very long time to come.   It is also, probably, the most thoroughly researched book of the 21^st Century.   There are 21 Chapters to this book.   The first Chapter alone references 82 separate source documents.   These references refer mostly to academic books and publications, interspersed with news reports, taken from the world's finist, and most respected newspapers and academic journals.

I have a section on my Website, devoted solely to links to YouTube videos of talks by and interviews with Naomi Klein.   These YouTube videos include A talk about Disaster Capitalism, the central theme of The Shock Doctrine, together with links to six YouTube videos, which represent Parts 1 - 6 of a presentation about The Shock Doctrine, which Naomi Klein gave to the The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, an organisation with which she appears to have very close links.
