SOCIAL MEDIA MUSINGS

Since the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, I have posted numerous
essays and other commentaries on Facebook. They are of varying length on
matters of politics, international affairs, history, law and justice, science,
journalism, education, psychology, health, humor and personal matters. After
I completed the tenth book in this series on Social Media Musings, I vowed not
to include future posts in any other book. Circumstances, however, dictated
otherwise. This part three of my epilogue will bring the total number of separate
essays, commentaries, notes, etc., in 14 previous volumes (10 plus two sequels
and parts one and two of an epilogue) to more than 1,500-all denominated
as Social Media Musings. Taken together, this series has been called a multivolume
documentary or literary archive.
As I've said throughout this series of books, I believe in an informed citizenry
that relies on facts, logic, critical thinking, and reasoned judgment. At a time
when too many people rely too heavily on social media and the misinformation
from those sources; at a time when anger and rage too often replace common
sense and critical thinking; it is hoped that the essays and social commentaries
in this series of books will inspire dialogue and further citizen involvement in
their communities. This series has been called a multi-volume documentary
or literary archive. I'm proud of that. Through diligence and commitment in
the face of fear; through speaking out rather than remaining silent; Democracy
will prevail.
