Stan Williams aka: The Vintage Voter

About The Author

After graduation with a BS in Finance, I joined the US Air Force. After graduating from Pilot training, I served multiple years in SE Asia and left the Air Force to join the airlines as a pilot. While there, I attended graduate school at USC and San Diego State in different Master Degree programs. I have concurrently worked 20 plus years as a Principal for an NASD Broker-Dealer (old name for the Financial oversight organization) supervising Registered Representatives. After early retirement from the airlines, I flew charters for the National Hockey League for three years (a really great gig !).

Now I find myself ready to the balance of my life (i.e. of course expected to go on forever) and I am taking this opportunity to "vent",  err, I mean, "say" or "write" in an effort to offer others the chance to use their "Common Sense". 

About The Column

I wish to discus the obvious issues, those that our government and the current Presidential candidates seem to "glaze over", or create their "canned answers" in an effort to keep the masses with them, regardless of the realitiy of the facts. I hope to influence others to revisit their common sense (assuming of course, that they had visited it in the first place). Common sense is something that most of us seem to have forgotton, or we would not vote to place our government  in its current situation. I hope to get some number of voters to again start thinking about their own responsibility to vote to govern themselves rather than remaining relagated to their current "sheep mentality".
