The Good Country is an imaginary journey in which The Professor takes Mr. Jack Truly into an imaginary country to show him how things could be in an ideal world where people are ethical and honest. I wrote most of the chapters sometime ago for an eMagazine which I have since taken off the Internet. I will post the episodes to this blog as PAGES which can be accessed by clicking on the highlighted Chapters below or by clicking on the chapters in the column at the Right of the blog. I appreciate any comments on anything that I write (and there is much on different logs) at any time.
