I've wanted to write this series of articles for several years. When I trie
d to stand back and look at what I wanted to say and why I wanted to say it
, I found the results a little surprising. What I found was that it Is been
a convoluted odyssey that my perspective of the world has traveled. Unders
tanding where I've been will both expose my biases and at the same time pro
vide some perspective of my current thinking.
