Profit-seeking is the root of all evil. If we could destroy finance capitalism, and jail its warlords, everything else would still be here except for the tyranny. At least until the next day. But seriously, it would help keep the cash flows honest. Thanks for sharing a meaningful memoir.

You reminded me of some of my jobs in the early 1970s, and also knocking on doors for candidates. You do get a feel for how people think when you knock on doors of working class people, like here in Rockford, Illinois. I shared this to Facebook.

Our office was on State Street, downtown. I've done candidate door-knocking too in Iowa....and yeah you end up having conversations about a lot more than the candidates and electoral politics.
