FWIW, I dug your post [& this one] as well, ...& I don’t think you’re a Marxist or a Bolshevik or a Communist or an Imperialist, a Satanist, an industrialist, an abortionist, a nuclear physicist, a revolutionist, sociologist, philanthropist or a Primatene Mist,

...I think YOU are a fellow American of conscience and individual thought and notion.  & it makes me happy...to know you’re out there inspired & ranting.

More power to ya, Reg. 

"Education doesn't make you happy, nor does freedom. ... It opens our eyes, our ears. It tells us where delights are lurking – convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever, that of the mind, and gives us the assurance, the confidence to walk the path our mind, our educated mind offers."
~~ Iris Murdoch

The liberty to think...& exchange ideas....
