    Derbig Mooser

    I agree with your quibble, but my circling mind possesses perhaps more nuttiness than does yours. Among my nuttier thoughts are concerns about the very veracity of our elections, whether our votes really count at all, and the possibility that the entire play of politics is merely a public theater front for a process of back room corporate selections, a secret financial fascism in democratic drag.

    I leave my MOST nutty thoughts for my fiction writing.

    Part of what keeps me sane is the placing of these various speculations onto a spectrum ranging from hard fact to lunacy, but it's a system that's as flawed as my mind. So, the much greater part of what keeps me sane is matters of the heart and my fascination with the unknown which eternity and infinity supplies.

    Kooky, eh?
