There has been a rise in visits to my face book page for John Emerson Roberts: Kansas City’s “Up-to-date” Freethought Preacher. I’d like to think that there is a new yearning for 
reason and its positive effects in the current political climate. This is not to say that Roberts has any real answers for us.
In l898, Roberts said: ““Deeper upon enlightened minds grows the conviction that progress is the world’s supreme law. To contribute to that progress, to obey that law, is the cosmic business of everyone and of everything that is.”
He doesn’t tell us what to do about the fact that so many people are shirking this responsibility.
Many, of course, have not been trained for it. I heard today that New Mexico now ranks 50th in education among the United States. There is much work to be done.

Where to begin on this work seems to me to be a big question.

You are sponsoring a sacred cause. Whether or not evolution is progressive, teams that go on the field expecting to lose are more likely to do so, The 21st is a crossroads century for pilgrim humanity.

Allen, I’m glad we’re on the same team.
