The Anti-Manichaeist

I’m done with blogging. 
I started blogging at the Anti-Manicheist the day or so after I lost my job as a professor of Economics  at a University in Mexico.  It was a place for me to pour my creative energies into and to explore different sorts of interests.

Well, I’ve been blessed to be in a community of sorts with the other posters at Orange Ukraine, Taras H of Ukrainiana, Levko at Foreign Notes and occasionally even uber-reporter Taras Kuzio, as I learned more about their country and difficult time of crisis in the past month. 
I am glad now to say that it […]
