I love reading History. I find it more fascinating than most fiction. Although a registered Independent voter, my political and social views lean to a conservative outlook. Both major political parties are, in my opinion, totally bankrupt in ideals and intent. Both pull too far in their respective direction, and all have sold themselves to the highest bidders. A New England Yankee, I have great admiration for the founders of our nation. The early ones, Washington, Adams Jefferson and others put their lives on the line. Add Madison, Franklin and more. We are most fortunate that our Revolution/Rebellion was organized and led by educated, enlightened men (not to forget Abigail and some other uncelebrated women) who thought far into the future, and it took other men like Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR to maintain the hopes & dreams of millions. France's Revolution started well, but was taken over by lesser men, and fell into the Reign of Terror, and the Guillotine. Russia suffered Lenin & Trotsky. We were luckier! I cannot get through the day without reading the Comics. Regular comics first, then the Political 'toons. Unemployed for 35 months, I finally landed a good position with a good company! However, now I have less time to comment, (a relief to some) and less time to read other comments. Just typing out my gripes & diatribes gives me a feeling of being a little less helpless, and I feel better having said it. Sometimes I goof. I do like reading other comments: occasionally I learn something.

    Unfortunately, my memory of John Glenn is that he was one of the “Keating Five”, senators who accepted large campaign "contributions’ and all-expenses-paid trips to the Carribean from Charles Keating, a big financial shyster/cheat. When the Feds were investigating his scams, Glenn, McCain and 3 others pulled the Feds off the case. Keating’s scam soon blew up, costing thousands of retirees their savings. Glenn was let off with a “you shouldn’t have done that” from his peers.

    I stumbled into a similar situation in northern Maine back in the Nineties. There was only one bear and I had my camera around my neck. Ursa Minor (she wasn’t very big,) looked at me for a few seconds, then just walked away into the woods. My heart did not start pumping hard until after she was gone!
