Maximising My Wealth Was Never My Chief

We Must Express The View, Based On Our Empirical Observations, That A Substantial Number Of Journalists Are Ignorant, Lazy, Opinionated, And Intellectually Dishonest. The Profession Is Heavily Cluttered With Aged Hacks Toiling Through A Miasma Of Mounting Decrepitude And Often Alcoholism, And Even More So With Arrogant And Abrasive Youngsters Who Substitute 'commitment' For Insight. The Product Of Their Impassioned Intervention In Public Affairs Is More Often Confusion Than Lucidity.

Since Biblical Times, And Probably Before, The Wealthy Have Been Envied And Condemned.

Watergate Enabled The Democrats To Cut Off All Aid To South Vietnam And Ensure American Defeat In A War Their Party Entered And Had Effectively Lost, Before Nixon Salvaged A Non-communist South Vietnam While Effecting A Complete American Withdrawal.

Perhaps The Gravest Under-publicized Atrocity In The World Is The Persecution Of Christians.

I Always Keep A Firewall Between My Own Travails And My Perception Of Public-policy Issues; Otherwise I Would Retain No Credibility As A Commentator.
