"Ahh Yes, The "Intellectuals" " What the intellectual craves above all else is to be taken seriously, to be treated as a decisive force in shaping history. He is far more at home in a society that weighs his every word and keeps close watch on his attitudes than in a society that cares not what he says or does. He would rather be persecuted than ignored. - Eric Hoffer -"

Hey, read my tagline...
Barely got out of High School. Joined the USAF at age 17. Graduated U. of Maryland Magna cum Laude. Degree in Political Science, and have 22 years experience in the "foreign service." I will, however, defer to Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow in matters of foreign policy; I wait for their take before I take a position.
