It is my lot in life to know most of the people you see on the nightly news. Some socially, most professionally.
I have had a hand in policy making and policy enforcement since the 1970's..
This enables me to see behind the rhetoric and other crap that they spew to gain/remain/increase power.
I am way over educated, with too much experience in too many places...and having carried a rifle in LBJ's war, I have grown into a bit of a cynic. Read the blog..agree or not...maybe we will both learn something
