In domestic governance, Bai argues that Confucianism can embrace the liberal aspects of democracy along with the democratic ideas of equal opportunities and governmental accountability to the people. But Confucianism would give more political decision-making power to those with the moral, practical, and intellectual capacities of caring for the people." Free. Click for details

Merry Merry & Happy Happy from LuccaNews!

It’s been a minute since we posted. I have been busy working on a book, and Sandy has been busy working on his many. Together we have been fielding some of life’s challenges that have taken most of our free time.

I was reminded of the difficulties of responsibly disposing of old and broken mechanical items when our rechargeable vacuum cleaner finally gave up the ghost. So the last post of the year dovetails nicely with our very popular Did You Know? series. Please see below for details on a terrific resource just outside the wall.
