I am always amazed at the ability of some people to distill important, complex issues into something that can be easily read, and the reader walks away with more insight and sometimes even wisdom. This is one such column; thank you.

I used to be center-right. I have moved to solid right only because the center-right just kept giving ground. I think a counterweight is necessary. I used to be for some level of gun control, but each increase in control only led to more control. I used to be for a high level of support for public schools, but each tax increase only led to another tax increase while performance decreased. I used to believe most (60%) elected officials were decent folks, but learned over the last 10 years that the life tenure enjoyed by many of these folks turns them into very selfish, power-drunk people who have no idea, none, how most people live.

I keep thinking about the book "Son of the Revolution", and hope that doesn't become a book that could be easily changed to describe the US in about 10 years.
