RALPH Essays, Etc.
There were times when I had an opinion about some subject but
either I had no one around to tell it to or, when I did find someone to
tell it to, I was speaking haphazardly, my points and explanations were
all over the place. I decided to write essays. These essays
were good for at least two things: One, it allowed me to get down
on paper or enter into a computer the thoughts bouncing around in my
head and, Two, enabled me to make the jumble precise, cohesive, clear.
Some of these were written for forums or various websites.
Some were written just for myself and are making their first
appearance out in cyberspace. All were written, as Bob Dylan had
written, "To unload my head" ("From A Buick 6", Highway 61 Revisited).
