Sorry, readers, that this blog has lain dormant for so long. I've been away (long long way away), but will be getting home to the Yukon next month, and intend to get busy again on getting some articles together.

In the meantime, I was checking the hits on the site in my absence, and came upon a search expression used by one visitor to find Yukon Confidential. It read "Why is life such bullshit?" That was so sad I had to have a look, and found that there were 75,000 hits when you type that in to the ole Google bar.

Anyway, I found a good bit of writing in my little search, and here is the link:

It's pretty focused on the USA's current struggle over meaning, but there's plenty there for us lot to chew on, too. Once we've got a good fix on bull, the tricky stuff will start: how to get it down to acceptable levels, how to get public figures to adopt the habit of telling the truth, and how we have to learn to live with less bull ourselves. After all, there's no sense in getting our leaders to tell the truth, if we are still going to lynch them when they do.
