I am a Vietnam Veteran concerned for the continued degradation of my country and more importantly, my civil rights. I 'log on' to comment on the on going destruction of the constitution and the unacceptable abuse of executive power. I consider myself a liberal, but, more importantly I consider myself a humanitarian. If what is considered for our country does not have the well being of, and the ability to pursue happiness for, ALL then I am against it. It is time for the betterment of mankind to be the driving principle. I will comment along the way and I hope that what comes from my 'pen' will bear the above measuring stick.
