Congratulations on feeling that a "conservative" Supreme Court Justice is going to do this country any good.

Scary decision. My boss in 1977-1983 used to say that it is corporations that run the world, not countries. He became Warden of the Nevada State Pen-- Lovelock in the 2000s. He was/is quite bright. I was an Assistant Manager in a food service concern for much of that time doing Idlewild Park Softball Park, Bower's Mansion and Sky Tavern Junior Ski Program food service. Not all at once and the ski program only for one winter. This was full time Summer work for the most part. That did allow me to pay for my first two BAs and extra classes in many areas at the University of Nevada, Reno and pay at least some of the way for my MA from the University of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management (Class of May, 1984).
I hope he might read this Talk of the Villages Political Forum at some point.
