Hi Charles, I read several of your pieces now and I have to say they are discouraging, although not surprising. I will give you points for being articulate and having a good vocabulary. Public school education had a decent outcome in your case.

Since you have caught my attention, I am almost engaged enough to write commentary on your articles. However, I understand that not everyone appreciates my attention.

I can be direct. "Another moronic Elon Cultist who doesn't know shit about Tech or Elon's financial dealings say's Elon is really "saving" Twitter. This article is a crock of shit, pure Elon propaganda."

But, you are EXACTLY the kind of person I write about when I discuss politics, Short Takes — 003 : No, I cannot “remember that we are all Americans and just be friends”. Which really tempts me to start commentary with you.

I think you are a "brainwashed", "delusional", "sorry" excuse for a human being but I also know that epiphanies happen to even the most closed of minds. So, what do you say Chuck?

Wanna chat with me?

If you want to know who I am, you can find out all about me here. Personal Notes — 09 : Things are coming to a head. Let’s talk about that.

FYI - This "Liberal" double majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley in the 70’s. I have a Doctorate in Anthropology as my ‘hobby” degree that I got in the 90’s while I was employed by the NSA.

I was a Navy Seal in the 70’s and 80’s (NROTC scholarship to Berkeley). My MOS was EOD. I just don’t advertise that I used to get paid to travel the world and engage in state sanctioned murder. I have very mixed feelings about what I did “in your name”.

Just so you know where I'm "coming from".
