Though raised in the prong of the buckle in the Bible belt, I find elastic much more comfortable. I attended Oklahoma Wesleyan University and receive my education by living a life of continued inquiry. I love reading, researching, writing, gardening and sharing my opinions. In another life I was a Young Republican. In yet another life, I once worked for a politician who was a Democrat. I believe in the Constitution that was. It should be required that all high school students watch the video and report on the warning of Dwight Eisenhower's farewell speech and the current state of the MIC.
