Jim Loy's Issues and Opinions Page

Here we have some essays about relatively serious issues. In most I have expressed some of my own opinions. In some, I have tried to remain neutral. The purpose of these articles is not to please those who already agree with me, it is not to anger those who already disagree with me. The purpose is to provoke thought in all types of people. If you disagree with me, at least think about what I say.

"Why should I worry about dying? It's not going to happen in my lifetime." Raymond Smullyan.

"Man's capacity for abstract thought, which most other mammals seem to lack, has undoubtedly given him his present mastery of the land surface of the earth -- a mastery disputed only by several hundred thousand species of insects and microscopic organisms." H. L. Mencken.
