I appreciate your kindness.

I'll try to answer your question. I am one of those kids from a poor family, who loved books. And who rebelled against the system. I'm retired now, after working in human services for decades. And I've always been far better at communicating by writing, than speaking.

Over the years, I've had things published in newspapers, boxing magazines, archaeological journals, and even Playboy magazine. I've wrote and co-wrote a number of books. I'm actually working on three books now -- focusing primarily on one on the environment and human health.

The OPs I post here are generally my "warm-ups," as I consume my morning coffee. Lately, a few have been on campaign-related issues that I thought about the previous evening.
