or any other characterization you might have, Alan.

If anything, I'm probably best classed as an independent thinker, Alan.

I've been disappointed with both American political parties from my earliest years, now seeing the Trumpers as sort of a disease, and Democrats as Republicans in spirit. I saw little difference between the Presidency of Obama and Bush, for example--and that's not good at all.

In terms of source materials, I try to read a bit of everything--even in foreign languages when I can--but my Russian and German are not very good. I don't take any video materials very seriously--more as entertainment than anything else.

I don't know of anyone I have discussed with in GHMB that I have totally agreed with--and very few that I have totally disagreed with.

I continue to be here to learn--and to have some fun!
