For many articles, posts, etc., there will be an opportunity for anyone to add comments, perspectives and thoughts.  I hope there will be debate.  I will be moderating the comments and will give broad discretion for content.  However, I reserve the right to remove objectionable remarks.  By objectionable I mean personal attacks on myself or others, unrelated remarks, advertising, spam, etc.  I am not going to provide a detailed description but there is no place here for obscenity, or otherwise offensive language.  Disagreement and debate are encouraged so long as it remains constructive and relevant.

If you are interested and motivated to create posts of your own, I welcome and will consider posting them.  However, be aware that this is my blog and I reserve the right to control content

I created several of the images such as the cover photograph of arches (from our visit to Fiesole, Italy).  For any and all other photographs and/or images, maps, graphs, or other visual representations will qualify as public domain and/or fall under the fair use exception.  If you have a question or concern in this regard, please email me at jmcneer5001@gmail.com.
