It helps to amplify the writers sense of being a part of the larger story which is very important. It is a whole sense of the literary tradition. So there is this rich ground that is here already and then the Writers Institute comes in and becomes a begin debate could begin beacon and resources nothing else and the rest of that sounds too high but it becomes something that feeds the whole system. It gives fuel, fuel to the fire of peoples imaginations and its very rewarding to see that, to encounter that and to see people in the writing workshops to catch fire with their own creativity because the have been given stuff to work with.

More effort to figure out how can we list fewer americans on the beaght field. Peace things are coming down the road. On energy, the breakthrough in hydraulic frackerring and horizontal drill, we take a place like north dakota which went from 800 Million Barrels of reserve in 2002 to over 24 billion today.

Not incidentally, thats when a strange new virus from china began to spread among our population. The rise of covid19 in theis United States tracks almost precisely the decline of Donald Trumpsed approval numbes in the political lesson from this is clear. The more damage the wuhan coronavirus does to america, the harder it is for the president to get reelected. Thats not speculation. It is the most certain fact in american politics. Every democratic officeholder understands that. If the population remains terrified, democrats will have more power in january. The Democratic Party has every incentive to keep americans afraid and offbalance. For the next 97 days, big plans to do that. That is their entire campaign strategy. The only thing they are running on. Yesterday the new site bright bark for most of of a group of posit
