‘m a retired janitor who has 100 hours of graduate study beyond an M.A. in U.S. history. I’m a mathematician and a generalist who uses a systems approach to study human behavior and interaction with the environment. As a naive undergraduate in the 60’s I switched from a study of math and physics because I thought politicians didn’t know how to discover solutions to social problems. I didn’t realize until later that they didn’t really care about solving social problems. I’m a political maverick and a Vietnam Vet. I was a postal clerk with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in the central highlands of Vietnam May, 1969 - April, 1970.
