It’s always frustrating to see leaders act based on ego....but when the leader puts the ego aside and does what’s best for their respective country....that’s when the leader is truly the best thing for the people !!!

I only knew the barest of info about it—not much more beyond college. But I became a bit obsessed after reading Marhall's speech and Buttigieg's. That Mayor Pete is so crazy smart. He knew exactly what to say that was different and intriguing. I hope he's president in my lifetime...

also, I love your recommendations of who to read when it comes to history! All great suggestions. I read Cox Richardson almost every day.

Only other I would add is (now deceased) Howard Zinn.

Thanks for that recommendation, Jan! I know the name, but not much else—I'll look him up.
