Welcome to Gristmill Sites, by Dint. Theme: No Easy Meanings. Vet Everythig. Is There an Agenda?

This lists our multiple-topic sites, that grew like Topsy over the years. Commentary that began as political, or cultural, or any other emphasis, ended up including substantial history, however. Whimsy turned darker. Or a language analysis showed a different meaning to accepted texts, raising issues of agenda, propaganda, manipulation. So, we index the sites themselves here, with their major emphases.

For annotations, and the separate topics, see the companion Dint site, Topics by Dint The Sites by Dint index differentiates between the URL's, although they are beginning to converge. It reinforces the concept of vetting as the first step to problem-solving. Take a position, carefully, if at all, later; and stay open. There may be another angle.

Overall: Pragmatic secularism in legislation and areas of human interaction; one's own religious views to manage private life, as desired; receptiveness to new ideas; rejection of ideologies applied without further analysis.
