Here are a bunch of pages that I find useful, informative, or thought provoking. Note that a link here is not necessarily an endorsement. I read plenty of sites, especially political sites, that have far different editorial positions than mine. Knowledge is power; “know thy enemy;” etc. For news, opinion, and analysis websites, their political bias and other attributes are indicated.
Categories
- Church & Religion
Links relating to faith and spirituality, mainly Catholic Christian but also key works from other faiths. The Catholic Church is the “one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church” of the creed. It was established by Christ and is led by successors of Peter under Holy Spirit’s protection. - Humor & Satire
Do you like to laugh? Of course not. Nobody does. But if you’re considering laughing anyway, some of the links in this section might be able to help. This section includes funny comics, satire websites, and a bunch of other stuff that I find amusing. - Law & Government
Links and resources relating to government and law including “freedom indices,” general resources, and locality-specific resources for the United States of America; the Commonwealth of Virginia; Loudoun County, Virginia; and the South Riding community. - Maps & Navigation
Links and resources relating to mapping, cartography, geographic information systems (GIS), aviation and maritime charting, and more. Includes both modern and historic maps from various private and government sources. - Miscellaneous Interests
