Jack Duffe, the author of this site and its contents, is full of hope for the world. That makes him a fool, but a pleasant one. You may contact him here : .

Specifically, the author is a liberal secular progressive humanist from the state of Oklahoma. It can happen! He would like to apologize to the United States for nearly every politician to come from Oklahoma during his lifetime.

He is also a teacher. In the event that students or employers who know his first and last name find their way here, they will find nothing that he is embarassed to share with the Internet. He is sorry to disappoint them.

He will now stop speaking in third-person.
