Several mornings a week about three to ten guys meet for breakfast at various places, usually in Marin County, California. Most are vets. We have some amazing conversations for old guys: we have enormous experience. Our senior guy is 80 and our youngest, 44. We are WW ll and Vietnam. We talk about politics, women--no subject is off-limits. My wife calls them my "girlfriends." After our talks, I usually summarize our thoughts on the blog.

FLAW IN DEMOCRACY
GIVE ME A BREAK. I've never heard such BS in my life from the Republican candidates for Prez. At least they are attacking each other. In a sense, what the Repubs are doing is exposing a flaw in democracy. Listen to any of the voters interviewed. Guess what: they always come from, "how does this effect me and how does it relate to my life." Inherently selfish. The flip side of the coin is that all of us are mostly there. Our own welfare, comfort in the present and future is what we are into. Nobody says, so and so might be good for me but it is not good for the country and so I choose the country.
