We constantly struggle with Issues–not only what to make of Issues in the news, but how to anticipate those upcoming that we need to be prepared to address.

In general, we divide them into Local, Regional, and National Issues. We consider International Issues to be matters of National Security, so we place them in the National category.  Regional can mean statewide, mid-Atlantic, or Eastern Shore Issues.  Local Issues generally affect our lives within our county or town or school district or neighborhood.

There are some Issues that are almost always of concern. We have taken the liberty of drafting short essays that address a long-standing issue that doesn't often change very much or that provide a framework within which one can view the issues that are almost always there but evolve over time or are currently undergoing change. Those "morphing" issues may not lend themselves to a definitive statement that would be appropriate over the long haul. Here are some of those long-standing Issues:

• Rural Character of Talbot County: What's Not to Like?
• Republicans vs Democrats:  A World View
• Environment: Who's Against It?
• Taxes: Who's For Them?
• Education: Who's It For?
• Governing: Who's In Charge?
• Economy: What Works?
• Energy: What's the Truth?
• Health Care: It's Not About Health Care
