Candace, I was immunized against propaganda in 1967 or '68. Coincidentally, I witnessed a prominent member of congress solicit my father for a bribe. My father refused and raised my esteem for him immeasurably.

Subsequent events have only cemented my belief that the entire apparatus of government in the United States is a Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization.

I do not trust any agent of government of whatever level and further, I do not believe anything any level of government says nor do I believe that any level of government acts in any way save to further its own interests.
