Digressions and Other Inconsistencies

If you’ve ever read the book “Ender’s Game”, you’ll already recognize the name Orson Scott Card.  If you’re like me, you’ll think he’s a very talented author who writes some of the best speculative fiction around.  What you may not know is that Card also has a mind for politics, and explaining his views carefully, shrewdly, and bluntly.  His thoughts on the situation in the Middle East have been particularly enlightening.

Recently he’s posted a couple more items, both of which I think are well written and worth reading:

Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn on the Lights? – Card explains the bias of the media, with some interesting examples.

Upholding the Constitution – His thoughts on how the Constitution and our democracy have already been been illegally usurped, and what we can do about it.
