Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

A plug for our friend's book, Reluctant Warriors

It's about the lives of Israeli citizen-soldiers.


The blurb says:



Each chapter is the story of one man, his dilemmas, his challenges, the deaths of those close to him, his defense of his family and land. These  soldiers relate vivid and compelling accounts of their lives and their experiences, including attempts to maintain their sense of humanity in the face of inner and outer battles and stresses, while still becoming better soldiers at the same time.

I look forward to your thoughts and comments.
I will begin a new book on Ethiopian/Israeli children and families and your feedback will help me.
