Born in the 20th & 1/2 century, Frank is a mostly sane individual who has lived most of his life in the wilds of California. During his many trips around the sun, he has had the ability to travel extensively throughout this third planet and seen firsthand many of its delights and rarities. Now living and retired in almost the dead center of America, he watches his grown children, and their family's from afar. He is curious about the state of affairs in the world and how we became so sensitive to think that everything is offensive. The adoption of socialist politics, where everyone is entitled, is also a mind-boggler. It would appear a slap in the face to those who get up, make something, and better themselves despite the odds. Perhaps we have forgotten our world history and the many previous socialist governments that have collapsed. We will merely exchange the 'one percent' in the private sector for the 'one percent' in the government sector. He fervently hopes that a new generation of creative, adventure-seeking youth will realize this, take up the torch, and boldly experience life with eyes of wonder once again. And with some intervention, perhaps of an unworldly nature, his fellow adults may awaken and re-experience this bliss they have misplaced in those cavernous recesses.
