Who wants to build a wall and will do whatever necessary to get his way no matter what most Americans say? As a sign of intense US interest in this issue the news increases. Unfortunately, this is an old story with an evil twist.

Later in life, I had the opportunity to work for one of the world's largest Propaganda machines. The term refers to misinformation which may not be objective and used to influence folks by presenting unverified facts to encourage a particular perception using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response. Propaganda is associated with governments but not limited to it.

I loved my dad but did not tell him nearly half as many time as I should have. Thanks, Dad for everything you taught me. Now, ss a proud father and grandpa, I wish I were closer to my kids, who no longer live with me and have started their own lives.

We Need Our Wetlands

Wetlands are valuable ecosystems that can slow erosion, prevent flooding by retaining storm waters, filter and decompose pollutants, and slow global warming by converting carbon dioxide into oxygen at a prodigious rate.

Wetlands are protected under the Clean Water Act. These are vital to the nation's water quality. Their dense vegetation helps filter out toxins as water flows through. Wetlands provide key fish and bird habitat and protect coastal land from hurricanes.
