"IMHO . . ."
Leon Felkins' Home Page

"The ultimate consequence of protecting men from the results of their own folly is to fill the world with fools."
- Herbert Spencer

For the moment, this page will only serve to link you to various other pages that I think are worthwhile, and my primary page devoted to politics and philosophy. I hope to add much more here, as time permits, on the several aspects of life -- possibly more important than philosophy -- such as family, gardening, music, and other amusements.

So what the heck is "IMHO..."? In the old days of Internetting, bandwidth was quite limited and therefore abbreviations were often used for standard, often trite, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, expressions. "IMHO" stands for "In My Humble Opinion".

  • Leon's Political Almanac

    I have just added a Calendar and "Today in Political History" page for your enjoyment and enlightenment. There are many "Today in History" resources on the internet. What is different about mine is that it is: 1) limited to Politics and 2) it has links from the items displayed! Please give it a try. But be patient -- it is still under construction. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated!

  • My Philosophy Page, "A Rational Life"

    This page makes a strong statement about some things that are pushing our country along the road to disaster at an ever increasing rate. Before you dismiss it as just yet another pile of political propaganda, you might want to check it out. My theme is to discuss the causes of this disturbing situation we're in and why you are part of the problem -- actually, most of the problem! Most of the stuff you read and hear is directed toward the symptoms of this illness: my essays attempt to get at the root causes of the illness. Note that I didn't say I had the solutions to the problems. However, IMHO, the first step is to correctly identify the problems.

    Be forewarned: to examine the root causes of our societal problems requires some preliminary homework in subjects such as Social Dilemmas, Public Choice, Memes, Genes, Motivations and Common Sense. You will find it all on the pages of "A Rational Life"!
