Frank's Essays

The start of the second gulf war prompted me to "get political," so I wrote my first political essay and put it on this otherwise apolitical web site. I always wanted to get more active and write about things that troubled, bothered or appealed to me. I guess the outbreak of hostilities was enough of a catalyst to start me writing. So consider this my "Web Log," or as some call them, "Blog." I intend to add the occasional text now and then, but let's see if I can keep my motivation going.

The essays are arranged most recent first.
