The Penn Square Post, part of the Penn Square Press LLC, is a news and commentary forum for a variety of topics related to life in the 21st Century.
Front and center are issues concerning Health Care Policy and Delivery in the US. Edited by Thomas Godfrey, a health care consultant and former doctor and administrator with a large established delivery and insurance organization, this section tackles the critical developments making news in a slightly different perspective, hopefully stimulating an exchange of ideas. Tom has had extensive experience practicing on the front lines as well as planning for highly specialized care. For years he was involved in how doctors communicate with their patients and each other.
We will also be extending our platform to other topics, the first two being classical music and orchestras in the US from Curtis Rittenhouse, a former Music Academy head and program annotator.
Later we will be adding a section aligned with mysteries, one of America’s favorite forms of fiction and entertainment which will be hosted by George P Barber.
Our eventual goal is to expand to be a public forum for the things that make life worth living —-instead of the annoying junk that is clogging up the airways and internet each day. How many people really care about the fortunes of the Kardashians on a daily basis? Why are they everywhere in the news?
This calendar year we will also expand our discussion to the books the Press will start to publish. One, a new mystery, has just appeared.
In the three months since we began publishing the Post, we have learned that progress is slow and unpredictable. We want readership participation. Please join in.
If you like what you read, please tell others. We know you have a lot of choices but we hope you will come to feel you have a home here at the Post, located in the US state where freedom of religion and expression of thought was a founding ideal.

I think the statue pictured is very reflective of what I think this post’s purpose is. To have intelligent, constructive and reflective thought. I would really like to hear your thoughts on the dysfunction that this country is in. Both my parents, one more so than the other, grew up in the Soviet Union. They, my parents, often said the Soviet Union was the most Capitalistic and the US most Socialistic functioning systems. We claimed victory when the “communist”, the USSR, fell apart. Before that time, the Soviets were certain the capitalistic system would fall. Is our time coming? USSR never had “true communism”, far from it. I think we are learning, or hoping, to not have “true Capitalism”. If true and ideal Communism were to prevail, there would be class equality, insightful understanding of social and ecomonic responsability to one another – this was obviously not the prevailing system in USSR. If true and ideal Capitalism prevails we have monopolies, derivitives and current health care system. In the Soviet Union, education was trumped as a national priority. In the US, company profits are trumped as national priority. Over the last 50 years, this has trampled education. We speak of freedom. I seriously doubt many Americans understand that word. We speak of Democracy and actively try to export it to the world. There is no Democracy in US. US was founded on great principles and ideal of active citizenry. Our system will fail if we do not have each and every citizen active to assure their well being and that of the nation. For that, we need educated citizens. I feel ignorance serves Capitalism, destroys Democracy. Education would allow Democracy to thrive and temper Capitalism. Sorry, got carried away a bit.
