A just society, politics, economics & ideology. What our culture used to call Civics.

But we don't seem to be civilized these days, do we?

If you keep on the way you have been the past few weeks, it is going to be a long four years. Just remember, nothing is perfect, nothing is finished, & nothing lasts forever.

Flat earth theory, non-Euclidian geometry, the divinity of George Washington, School vouchers, circles of love, the abuse of high quality Chinese tea!

Tune in to find out if we're Christian Nationalists, Communists, Libertarians, Socialists, bleeding heart monarchists or just stumbling on our journey on The Way of the Life of Faithfulness to the evangelion of Jesus, The Christ.
