I have 3 fans: Become a Fan. You'll get emails whenever I post articles on OpEd News
Have worked as a novelist, musician, hotel desk clerk, blue and white collar jobs, European liaison for Giorgio Armani in Chicago, librarian, reporter -- many more. In other words, I'm a genius at picking jobs that with one exception were either very interesting or very available, but not remunerative. One constant has been liberal increasingly radical politics and a dismay that the people of the US are happy to be spied on, lied to, and willing to contribute their taxes and their sons and daughters for the purpose of expanding US hegemony even if it means Free Trade trumps Fair Trade and an oiigarchy rules them.
It does not have to be this way.
I live near Chicago and am a self-employed retailer and writer.
