The Corporate Cancer Destroying Our Institutions
Having worked in administrative roles for the greater part of my professional life, the matters I am about to write about may mark me (in the eyes of many) as a hypocrite and a fraud. I could also be disqualified on the basis of my background in Classics.

Read the transcript. That’s my advice if you want to know who won the great debate. Forget the pompous pundits. They are either left-wing hacks or prissy conservatives impressed by style over substance. Trump won the debate in a landslide despite facing three opponents.

Mike Dulak grew up Catholic in Southern California, but by his teen years, he began skipping Mass and driving straight to the shore to play guitar, watch the waves and enjoy “the beauty of the morning on the beach,” he recalled. “And it felt more spiritual than any time I set foot in a church.” Nothing has changed that view in the ensuing decades. “Most religions are there to control people and get money from them,” said Dulak, now 76, of Rocheport, Missouri.
