Hi, Cauf. Iliked your essay Wake UP And Smell.... I found your satire both sholarly and amusing. A good piece of writing.. Thanks. Mind you, America was once known for its open spaces and open mindedness, fast food, and women in wet tee shirts, but today, we have graduated to becoming the world leader in conspiracy theories. It seems every relevant fact is now part of some conspiracy dealing with politics, sports pundits, healthcare specialists, and the American population. As for me, I believe that the jails are being filled to support and pay the contractors running our prisons who have large contracts. And it is true, everyone in prison is innocent as they say. Of course, I'm finding that soaring with eagles has become impossible. There are too many turkies in the flock. Regards.
