    1. Congrats, again! I think you and I would list the same #1 post: “At the Dawn of the Fourth Turning,” though I’ve enjoyed so many of your posts.

      Speaking of the fourth turning, I don’t know if you saw the headline on the front page of the Washington Post earlier this week: “Major Cities’ Plummeting Crime Rates Mystifying.” Of course, crime rates drop in a fourth turning (The Fourth Turning, page 104), so Strauss & Howe enthusiasts wouldn’t have been mystified. It’s another sign of a fourth turning in a period that feels to me like a transition period between a third and fourth turning.

      Health care overhaul feels like a mini-fulcrum of what time it is. Nothing so grand gets done during a third turning, while in a fourth turning, as S&H put it, “government governs” Id. [emphasis original].

    2. How did you arrive at this list? Number of hits? Number or length of comments? Or something more personal? Just wondering.

    3. This listing is based on the number of hits.
