Ego stroke!

Well, I re-read a SciFi book I have had floating around for a while.  It's call "The Forge of the Elders" by L. Neil Smith.
The guy has a way with political observation that just drives me up the wall, i.e., how can he be so eloquent stating the obvious that I have known and fretted about for years when I can hardly get a sentence out without going into near apoplexy with rage.
Yeah, he's good.
So, I emailed him asking permission to use some quotes.
And, HE ANSWERED!
Rather quickly, too.  I was impressed.  So, as I re-read the book AGAIN, looking for quotes and/or observations, I will re-transmit them along both here in the blogs and on Facebook.
Just to maintain my status as a card-carrying member of the Lunatic Fringe.
Keep checking in.  Oh, and comments are welcome.  Rx
