Yes, i agree. I have and am using that avenue already. And that is the plan for The Submariner once things settle down and i get some time to get back on it. The book, itself, is complete and fully professionally edited, so it is ready to go. I just need to go through the technical issues with Amazon.

I wrote a memoir last year that i intend to self-publish about my four-years in the Navy. I called it, The Submariner. It is a really good book, with both serious and humorous thought. I have tried to get a literary agent to publish it with no luck.

I have no problem with that. I have written a couple other very good books that i self-published. It's my writings that i consider my legacy.

I can relate to that. We had conversations relating to that subject during a few dinners in the officer wardroom.

But what really brought it home for me was the day i was standing the Officer of the Deck watch, when a test message came to tell us to "go to battle stations missile, battle stations missile" and it was up to me to hit the alarm and pass the word.

I just some how lucked into the Navy, as i tried to avoid Vietnam. I wouldn't have probably in the Navy if it wasn't for the Vietnam war, let alone on a fleet ballistic missile submarine. Hell, i wasn't even that smart at he time.

Anyway, it is that one moment in time, that i have had to live with all of my life afterwards and something like that really makes one think of what one's own role in the world was.

i sent you something earlier that again i think failed. So here is my best solution.

have been having difficulty pasting the link to my blog, so if you want to see it, i recommend that you do this:  go to youtube and type in the following search "Biden question and answer commerce labor"  I watched the CBSN version which i think will probably be the first option you get.  I recommend you go directly to the 46 or 47 minute part of the video, which is the beginning of the question answer period, after the earlier time spent introducing labor and commerce.

LOL. LOL on me twice. Maybe this third time will be a charm. I have already watched the video four times myself and it only get better with each observation. Now let's try this link.

This time i even went back to check to see if it was the same one as the one i have been watching.

ps. TalkMarkets published an article of mine yesterday that i truly believe is the best article of my career. I am sure you could find it if you googled it.

I am so sorry, Ayelet. I have been making some pretty stupid computer mistakes of late--chalking it up to just getting older. Try this link out, it should take you there:

Hi, Ayelet--I dug it up and am attaching the youtube video of it.  

It is an hour plus, but i recommend that you go to minute 47 then start there and watch the rest to the end.  From there you will see what i was talking about with Biden.

Here is that link:

The old Republican Party is going to split into two: (1) the Trump MAGA party; and (2) the new Lincoln Party. And down the road, the Trump MAGA party will go the route of the Whig Party. A number of old Republicans are going to wake up and discover that America was always great.

I am not sure what kind of international abuse of power that you are afraid. War is out and kindness is in with globanomics. Abuse of power is not consistent with globanomics, but as you said, time will tell.

You could possibly be right. I had not thought of that. Yet, the dollar will still have to be the measure. Globanomics may need some minor adjustments, but i will argue you down on just about every other point if you wish.
