These same stories would always depict the Merchant as a nervous, sweaty, or slick and greasy little con-man who would sell his mother for a shekel or two. They were the ones you were told couldn't be trusted, were dangerous to associate with, and definitely not the ones you introduced you sister or Mother to. Yet somehow, by the time we were of working age, the merchant had been transformed from the grease-ball without any ethical standards to sell if he had them....to the very person you now wanted to be! The Banker, the CEO of am insurance com[any...Donald Trump and your name written on everything you built...this was who you were now supposed to model yourself after. What I want to know is what happened during those intervening years? Did we really grow up? Or did so else happen. How did the Merchant become the Knight ?

We are for the most bottom feeders and tame boys and girls gone shopping. Remember Ike tried to spend our way out a recession and succeeded. Hoover failed, as did Carter, lets see how the lead slut does with this one. Having Goofy in charge is interesting. Next war with Canada. The cheerleaders at the Times are missing the boat again, I find my self longing for Judith Miller collaborator with any man in authority. Good thought piece.
