Really about to come full circle and im thrilled every day i wake up and i thank god that im here in the greatest country in the history of the world. This is a place where you can do anything, where youre free to be yourself, where personality hasnt been downsized and where i feel most comfortable when i get on the beach, 16, 18 lane freeways in texas where ive chosen to live and i think the best state in the union. Im just settling down and sometimes i look around and its the plethora of options that you have for eating or drinking or shopping. Theres really no place like it. The freedom is palpable. Its very much discernible and perhaps thats something that someone who spent the first years of their life letting someone else has more of a perspective on then say a nativeborn american that has not experienced life anywhere else they may have been of a place that never for such an extended period of time living in those places.

Landscapes. I wanted to write a little pamphlety kind of book that took eight issues that i care about and, incidentally, where i think im in the majority of public opinion. I dont think im a barricaded minority with some weird, outlier ideas. I think im in the majority on issues like war and peace, issues like mass incarceration. So what i wanted to do was take it out of the frame thats been given to us and make it kind of in the form of a manifesto, this is what were fighting for.

Its very Important Service you give to the country. My folks are watching this. My kids will get a kick out of it. I hope they see their picture behind me. Ive got a pretty extensive reading list not only for the summer, but over the next year. I thought id start off with prayer for people under pressure by jonathan aiken, written by a former member of the english parliament, so he knows a little bit about pressure, and i thought i could learn something from him.
