Like I told the OP we’re philosophers and ‘keyboard warriors’ here. I think you two represent that.
I want, and I want others here, to learn about local involvement.
And like I said, the swamp got there long before us. Ignoring their involvement will only result in more disappointment, and more names on lists, if we let this go on. All of the moves of the swamp are about centralization and the nullification of any actions at local level.
