I love that you are doing this service to make people's days a little brighter. And that your profile pic has a Popeye shirt - a classic character who defended the innocent (Olive Oyl) from bullies (Brutus). Well done, sir!

In Stephen King Gunslinger series, John F Kennedy is referred to as "the last of the gunslingers." I'm reminded of this: "We choose to go to the Moon and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." - JFK Our politicians are 1) spineless 2) pathetic 3) lack vision.
