On the top of the right-side menu bar are links to the FM site’s reference library. Organized by topic, these pages have links not only to the FM posts but often to valauble other sources of information. based on suggestions from readers, I am re-organizing these for easier use. Here is a copy of a newly reformed refernce page about… America – how can we reform it?
How did America get to our present situation? What can we do to reform it? This series poses question and provides few (if any answers). The discussion in the comments are often far longer — and more interesting — than the posts themselves. Often heated, the different views clash discordently.
