The Slow Attrition of the Soul

Today we have another good example of how blog, in the right hands, is a powerful knowledge tool. Indeed, "powerful knowledge tool" is too techological a term, too clunky a way of expressing a medium that seems as natural and human as handwriting.

"Sent from a mobile phone, probably from the cab of an ambulance."

Once again we cite Tom Reynolds.

It is worth spending time with this site. All those of us who are interested in how our taxes get spent, or how our cities function, or how people react in drama and crises, will find something in Random Acts of Reality.

Tom is a good friend and one of the nicest people I know. His posts are often humbling to those of us in less essential professions.

I can thoroughly recommend his recently published book Blood, Sweat and Tea.

Tom's more than a celebrity, he is restoring the dignity of 'public service'.
