I get that you gotta do what you gotta do.
But I will miss you too.
Particularly if you leave Twitter.
Even your tennis commentary, which is funny for me to say because I haven’t cared about tennis since I was a teen in the mid-’70s!
Maybe your other/new projects will get your voice out in the world even more clearly, loudly, and impactfully. Hope so. Good luck.

Comment on Political Theater: The GOP Debates (are sooooo pointless) by Greg Larson

Four more years of Obama? That means four more years of war, increased federal deficits, higher taxes, fewer rights of the individual, and less government transparency. You will get the Fabian/Malthusian socialism you are looking for, however.

Considering that the financial interests behind this push for socialism are more interested in turning that socialism into a form of communism, you will have some explaining to do when that happens, as communism/socialism has murdered more than 100 million people over the last 100 years. All for the betterment of the people, of course.

Have everything you know and your whole life torn apart and think, would you feel that the cause of your pain be allowed to lead a life that he has stolen from you?

Okay, here’s a couple of paragraphs:

“The point is, facts and first-class propaganda have nothing to do with each other. Only a fool would deny that. Quite the contrary, our administration knows what they’re doing. We’re not talking amateurs. This is poetry in motion. Salute!

“Rats, trash, and needles hits ‘em in the gut, but you gotta do more than that. You gotta hit ‘em in the head, too. That’s what numbers are for. Well, how about $20,000 a week? That’s the price of Occupy on this impoverished campus, according to the administration. And that means killing off classes. (Maybe $20k is just a “ballpark” figure, with no documentation, but prove me wrong!). How about 2000 square feet? That’s the size of the lawn the Occupy hoard is crammed on, according to the administration, like slum dwellers in Mumbai. (It’s actually about four times that size, but who’s measuring?)”

But I think your readers deserve to read the whole piece. It can be found by Googling “jeb wyman occupy” and the piece shows up as “SCCC Faculty member Responds too…”
