what you have here is an old man with two much time on his hands
he is extremely worried about the state of the country he loves
he has read too many books about behavioral stuff
he has too many graduate degrees not have strong opinions
apart from his friends he has yet to get a stint
by starting this little existential project, he has prevented himself from running down the street screaming
in his sense of service he believes he will not be happy until you are not happy
