Just checked back to see how my comments (#3 and #4 above) went over.
Interesting.
I am a well-educated, politically active (left-center) scientist. I'm also an NFL and MLB fan in my hometown.
I will be voting for the Democratic nominee, whether it is HRC or BHO.
I'm grateful for the opportunities that I've had as an American citizen; what success I have had is due to a good (free) public education. From K-12, college, and graduate school, I was educated in what Libertarians like to call "government schools."
I realize that the roads I drive to work, the police and firefighters, the water I drink, and the clean air I breathe come to me from the taxes I pay.
I'm not a greedy sort; I feel like paying taxes buys me a decent infrastructure. I've never bought into the dogma of conspicuous consumption; I prefer to live modestly and sock away a tidy nest egg.
I see people my age (50+) ranting and raving about the taxes they're paying, about "government schools," and I think they're pretty pathetic. I don't ever intend to become one of those "greedy geezers."
