But mouse, thou are not alone
In proving that foresight may be in vain:
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Often go awry,
And leaves us with nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy

Description

TCSR, a division of the Adam Ferguson Institute, is an internet educational organization. David R. Ferguson is our Executive Director. Alvin Lowi, Jr. is our Director of Research and Rob Logan is our Webmaster. TCSR includes members of The Cactus Club and The Sonoran Society. We have a bookstore for your reading pleasure. Observers use TCSR to help educate themselves in the new way to study society---socionomics. We are all, in effect, Doctors of Civilization, trying to produce a diagnosis and prognosis of our stressed social environment. Some even go so far as to suggest a prescription. A list of our current Projects is below. If you would like to help TCSR by becoming a Project Manager or Assistant Manager, please contact us for an interview.
