Whatcom Works: June 2014
http://whatcomworks.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Once upon a time there was a land where attendance at the state approved church meant the difference between liberty or death. Many people died when kings and queens changed which church was approved. It became obvious that the decreed church had less to do with God, and more to do with the king’s grip on power. A century later, another king moved to crush the town hall people. A war was fought, and the king lost his distant colonies. “We the people” and citize...At local, state a...

Whatcom Works: March 2014
http://whatcomworks.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 16, 2014. This post has been joggling around in my head for a while. Some things have slippery edges or sharp corners. Eventually, what is dimly sensed precipitates out, even amid the whitewaters of living. Ion Pacepa’s book on socialist tactics. Has helped in recent days, filling in gaps and succinctly giving the history, development, and bitter fruits of socialist, communist disinformation. Violated trust. Lost innocence. When was the last time you were burned by someone? My personal expe...

Whatcom Works: April 2014
http://whatcomworks.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 14, 2014. 8220;Come here, I want to tell you a secret. Did you know that…? There is power in secrecy, in conspiracy. From playground cliques to business boardrooms to surprise birthday bashes, people delight in working surprises. Some surprises build up and enable. Some surprises unwittingly defraud and destroy. Some surprises are designed in advance to defraud and destroy. The curse of secrecy is that it usually destroys those who use it to destroy. Lastly, the curse of secrecy, like painf...

Whatcom Works: Replacing Sam Crawford
http://whatcomworks.blogspot.com/2015/01/replacing-sam-crawford.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Council member Sam Crawford has resigned from county council, effective March 1, 2015. A video of his statement and some of the other council member's responses can be seen here. There will be time to review council member Crawford's 16 year legacy of public service. There will be time to say, “Thank you! 8221; and ask “Why? 8221; Sam will become a full time, Westside Building Center manager. Best wishes, Sam! But what reality presses hard? What do you expect? This council me...

Whatcom Works Archived Articles: Hoping For Nothing
http://whatcomworks.blogspot.com/2015/06/hoping-for-nothing.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. Baltimore burns. Charleston prays. Two worldviews are at war in American communities. Destroying to gain versus Gaining the destroyer. Do these faraway realities touch Whatcom County? There is that takes for itself, and loses. There is that quietly gives amid pain, and gains. What attitude rebuilds community after wars of aggression? It is “Hoping for nothing,” passing on to the next generation a legacy of selflessness in the face of ultimate sacrifice. What is really going on?

Whatcom Works: December 2013

Sunday, December 15, 2013. A Truth Table: Conservative, Capitalist, Liberal, Progressive. Elections profile voter motivations. Elections also birth consequences. There are consequences for voters, and for those who are voted into office. And, those consequences in turn change the ranking of local motivations. What motivations might shape Whatcom County life in months and years ahead? Here is my analysis. Single family capitalized Reformation Protestant / Catholic. Age 50 Lynden Business/Farm Family].

Whatcom Works: February 2014
http://whatcomworks.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 21, 2014. Time is a great leveler. Time proves persons and unrolls a line of life works scrutiny. First impressions—the port commissioners meeting reminded me of a school board meeting. The executive, Rob Fix sat at a table with the three commissioners and the executive secretary. A panel of department managers and the legal counsel sat at the second table. Managers gave reports and commissioners voted on various items. Why the screaming call for video? What were we doing at the Port?

Whatcom Works: May 2014
http://whatcomworks.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Airspace. Alternatives to Cap and Trade. We become what we think about. We choose what to think about. The hinges of history are the minds and hearts, the “airspace wars” around our children. Walmart turns Cap and Trade on its head. Technology affects us. A few days ago, I was looking on the Whatcom County Library website for a certain book title. You can never just get the answer alone. Sidebars pop up with other suggested titles. Do you believe in ghosts? I AM interested in compa...
