Different Visions — Different Values

I am a big fan of J. D. Vance. I grew up in Central Ohio and went to college in Springfield Ohio 12 miles away from where much of J. D.’s bestselling book HILLBILLY ELEGY took place. The single biggest message to me from that book was that every person needs at least one person […]

The Corporate Practice of Medicine

I correspond regularly with about 30 doctors and nurses, most of them still in practice. Most live in Boise, but a few of them I spent time with on active duty in the Navy.

Vandalism

I’m incredibly disappointed by the recent vandalism of our signs opposing Proposition 1. Over a dozen signs in Meridian and Eagle were defaced, with some even marked with swastikas.

But it should also be considered that these human beings are being manipulated and used to achieve other goals. The “The Problem-Reaction-Solution theory, often intertwined with […]
