All Presidents—certainly of the last 110 years . . . have been figureheads.

Well that's certainly to take the bleak view, dear brother in Christ!

Perhaps you are right. Maybe 110 years ago was when the American people started to fall asleep, succumbing to dreamland, thus forgetting who they are and what it means to be an American. Somewhere along the line, the American people forgot their history, their provenance....

We are paying for it in spades, right now.

Then again, dear brother RE: UFOs. Thanks for reminding me that George H. W. Bush, while CIA director, refused the president's request to see the CIA's UFO files. Very interesting.

I know you have a keen interest in UFO phenomena. I've shared my husband's two sitings of UFOs with you. I still don't know what to make of all this. The big question I have is whether these events have extraterrestrial sources or causes. When one hears that CIA has been so busy with its paranormal psychology, behavior-mod, "robotization" research programs, involving technological applications, it seems it's even harder to draw a conclusion in the matter.
