As usual, we are in agreement. In fact you may be stealing some of my lines ;-) Democracy is the ongoing great experiment. The narrative of the current era in the U.S. is a very old story, rich vs. poor. A story that seldom has a happy ending.
Totally unrelated, I saw in the morning news and sports sweep that the Phillies clobbered the Astros. A good outcome in a fallow season. Are you and Marshal taking in many games? I have always believed the true fans are the ones who stick with their team through thick and thin.
Also unrelated, I have promised Allie and Emily that I will go to rehab after attending That Conference. It ends at 6 p.m. on Wednesday the 13th.
My life, an open book....
