Richard Van Ingram is a philosopher, visual artist, and writer. Sometimes he is rather funny -- now, for example, speaking of himself in the third person. Soon, he may take to the Royal We, as in "We are not amused." And you very well may not be either, at the moment, but try one of his books. Surely, you, yes you, will be amused by the writer's musings, cartoons,and illustrations concerning life, politics, ethics, and all the hyper-speed insanity of the American Experience in the 21st century.
