The Tostengard's of Arizona

 As one ages we suffer from the impression that simply because we have lived a long time, we have accumulated a lot of wisdom.  And while we no doubt over-rate this phenomena, I do believe there is some degree of truth to it.  There are a number of cultural and political issues with which I have strong feelings.  Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to share some of the accumulated wisdom through the five essays included here.  Please do me the honor of reading them.  If you have comments or questions send them to me at gtostengard@gmail.com.
