I will surprise absolutely no one by pointing out the insincerity, hypocrisy and deceitful nature of politicians. Anyone but a simpleton will be aware that, on some level, most politicians are dishonest. Yet, with each new election cycle, people muster enthusiasm for, campaign for, donate to and vote for candidates they hope will do better and manage their towns, cities,

They seem to believe that if they issue a report with an official sounding title authored by someone or some thing with an official sounding name, that Americans will believe absolutely ANYTHING they are told. And, they may
On of the most surprising things I encountered when I visited Russia recently was the COMPLETE absence of the visible signs of the Communist era. During my entire two week visit, I saw the “hammer and sickle logo” only ONCE. And that was in an out of the way engraving in the outside foyer of a civic building. It was
