Working on:
--Ruminations: Up-to-date!
--Social X: completed Social Love items; next: Social Change
--Studies in Interplay: writing draft of Turkey Military and Government.  I think there's exciting material here.
As I've gone along, I do recognize similiarities--peculiarities--in thinking between Jon Sobieski, who, tradition has it on my mother's side of the family, is said to be my great-great-etc grandfather and me!  Sobieski stopped the advance of the Ottoman Empire into Europe, viz., Austria, simply because that's what he wanted to do, without thinking of any material reward from the Austrians; and I frequently have done things in my lifetime simply because I thought it's the right thing to do, without weighing the personal consequences.  That is an unusual thought pattern which may have continued through the Centuries--since the 17th Century--in my mother's lineage.
