Mar 2015

My partner in crime carried on and became an affluent member of the Military–industrial complex.

Imagine something similar to Glomar Explorer, and me as an easily manipulated feckless youth who wrote a silly bit of useful dandelion fluff code.

So I decided to become an urban public school science teacher. Yes, I burned out on that like many young idealistic teachers, but I have no regrets.

I hate secrets in government. Secrecy is the breeding ground of corruption. Secrecy in a true democratic republic ought to be an extremely rare thing in times of war and non-existent in times of peace.

The U.S.A. is not a true democratic republic. We are merely the top banana republic of the world's banana republics.

The entire mess is held together by dirty secrets.
