Arthur Silber, Great Writer on the Internet

I plan to start a regular feature on this blog highlighting other, better, blogs in case there is anyone who, by some weird stroke of luck/lightning, happens by here and has not heard of them.

For the past year or so I have been in the habit of checking The Light of Reason blog religiously every day. Its owner, Arthur Silber, is a tremendously articulate and brutally honest writer. He has written a series that I expect will someday be compiled in college texts on the history of blogging - "The Roots of Horror," about Alice Miller's theories on child-rearing and their relevance to geo-political events. If that's not enough, he is also a classical music buff who writes about opera and orchestral news.

Arthur is ill and jobless, yet continues to write thought-provoking, timely and important articles every day in spite of all of the problems in his personal life. Because of the strain of maintaining his great blog, he needs and deserves financial contributions from readers.

(I think he feels even greater need to post regularly, as his well-written articles are more and more often mentioned by big and popular blogs such as Atrios and Digby, and thus attracting an ever greater readership.)

I highly recommend that you check him out - and that if you find his writing as valuable as I do, you should pay for his inestimable service.

Arthur Silber's Once upon a time blog is one of the best critiques on the maladies of our time. You can also read him regularly on Antiwar.com.

I have viewed that smart real estate agents almost everywhere are starting to warm up to FSBO Advertising and marketing. They are realizing that it’s not only placing a poster in the front area. It’s really with regards to building relationships with these suppliers who later will become consumers. So, whenever you give your time and energy to supporting these suppliers go it alone — the “Law associated with Reciprocity” kicks in. Thanks for your blog post.
