The Name

One thing I forgot to explain in the prior post was the name of the blog - "Thinkers Agora".   Agora is a Greek term for "gathering place".  I have been fortunate enough in my travels to have seen the ancient Agora in Athens, and I remember being impressed by the number of great thinker's feet that must have trod that soil.

That is my hope for this blog -- to attract people who think, rather than react or brainlessly follow trends set by others.
