September 4, 2023  For the first time in all my years I could not write anything about July 4th. Probably because as someone that has actually read the US Constitution and many of the letters our forefathers wrote to each other, confirming their knowledge of many societies over the last few thousand years.
  It isn’t hard to understand why billions of people worldwide think we are no longer trustworthy unless we give them money or they bribe our public officials.
