The world as a champaigne glass without a base.

At the 30th anniversary of the SIS International. Development Program, founding Dir. Steve Arnold used a plastic champaign glass with the base removed to illistrate the distrubution of wealth in the world. And like the partial glass, thee system it represents is fundamentally unsstable.

This ia the 'elephant in the room' that discussions of terrorism in both Presidential campaigns are ingoring.

WHO AM I? Dormgrandpop is Professor John Richardson. Until recently I was Adjunct Professor and “Residential Fellow” in “Residential College 4,” National University of Singapore. Residential Fellows share their lives, hopes, dreams and tribulations with about 75 students who are in our immediate “families” and a larger extended family of more than 700. WHY “DORMGRANDPOP.” I choose the name “Dormgrandpop” when I began writing this blog in 2004. This was two years after beginning what became a nearly ten year term as American University’s first resident faculty member, occupying an apartment in AU’s largest undergraduate dormitory, Anderson Hall. The name seemed to capture my concept of a faculty member in residence’s role well. I told my students, both those in Singapore American that grandparents, at their best, are somewhat they can look to for unconditional support and love and that I would try to live up to that ideal.
