Dear Friends, Welcome to my Substack site. I have named it “Beyond Appearances.” I plan to write on politics, philosophy, human rights, and social and cultural issues. I will also share some personal musings and the occasional book review. My approach will not be merely journalistic; I intend to look at issues of interest from the standpoint of the values and concepts that lie behind them.
How nice to hear your voice again, Joe! And thank you for extending your reach to those of us who refuse to submit to Facebook with all of its malevolent mercenary machinations. Cheers!
Many thanks for submitting your writings to me through email rather than Facebook. Please continue to do so since I value what you write immensely.
And thanks to you, Marilyn. Wishing you well!

Many thanks, Joe. And thanks for getting me started. I have lots of details to learn.
Hope this piece is widely read. It enhances nuanced thinking.
