This Independence Day weekend, I’m going to take a break from Hospice Earth for a few days, and write about some of the founding principles of our republic.

As it turns out, the science backgrounds of Jefferson and Franklin may have given them a degree of intuitive insight into the deeper nature of some of the ideas they gave to our nation.

Natural, unalienable, and empirical consists of two parts (so far:-).

The last couple of parts of Hospice Earth will be posted some time next week.

Thanks to C. for posting some comments here, and to M. for some ideas that got me over a bit of writer’s block on Hospice Earth.

Update 2008 July 26th, Saturday:

“A few days,” hah. “Some time next week,” heh. Work and other commitments intervened for the better part of the month. In any case, “Natural, Unalienable…” part 2 is up now; and Hospice Earth will continue, in the usual odd mix of doom and hope that constitute optimistic realism.
