All Places Have Value
While it may not seem so at first, this boarded-up home at the corner on Nance and McKee in Houston, Texas has value.
All places have value.
This place has value for the following reasons.
1. It has a history of some kind. This history is part of the larger history of our city.
2. It took the hours of people’s lives to build this house. All work has value.
3. The current condition of this house is a reminder of our failures.
4. This house is an opportunity to accomplish something better.
5. This house has the ability to make us think about the world around us.
In these ways, and in ways I am likely missing, this house and this place has value.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
