Let's remember the incredible privilege of being alive at this time in history and being an American. I consider being born poor, the son of a mechanic and a housewife (who valued education and integrity), a huge advantage. I want to make a difference and make America better. I'm a writer, poet, and engineer. I am a moderate looking for compromise among Americans. Also, see youtube.com/@AncientTexan. Email the #AncientTexan at wiley.foxes@gmail.com to be interviewed.
