Recently I got a response to an article I wrote — “Screw the Constitution”.
Note: I rarely if I ever write a response to criticism, I receive from something I post. Yet, I couldn’t help myself.
First, the respondent thought “Your rant must feel good for you.” Yes, it did! Thank You. Anytime I “rant” it feels good to get it out.
