Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, "a fecalized environment." . . . snip

For the rest of my life, I enjoyed the greatest gift of the Peace Corps: I love and treasure America more than ever. I take seriously my responsibility to defend our culture and our country and pass on the American heritage to the next generation.

Gives new meaning to the book HEART OF DARKNESS by Conrad in which a civilized trader degenerates into a savage. “THE HORROR! THE HORROR!”

Holy cow. I read thru some of their exploits.

I don’t think I’ll be visiting the Congo anytime soon.

At least 99.9 % of the people can agree to improve on a fecal environment.

At least 50 per cent of the people suppurt the fecal environment called the U S Senate.

Thanks. Your reply reassures me that “thinking” people understand ideas conveyed by plain language—provided their minds have not been reprogrammed by clever disciples of Alinksy et al.
