My 18,000 word thesis earned me a Masters of Biblical Studies degree (a wholistic plan to empower low-income black America). I'm here to network for publication and to seek out like-minded African Americans (curtis.hervey@yahoo.com). As a Distinguished Graduate of OCS, I seek to apply battle-tested military principles to solving black pathology by issuing a national warning order. I'm an iconoclast, my doctrine is Washingtonian (as in Booker T.) and my role is that of Socratic Gadfly.
We all know the story of how the hard-working ant prepared for winter while the good-timing grasshopper did not.
Mr. Ant was industrious. He budgeted his money and saved it away. he sacrificed. But when winter came, Mr. Grasshopper wanted to "integrate" into the ant colony and reap the fruits of others' labors.
Mr. grasshopper was a socialits and expected Mr. Ant's earnings to be "redistributed".
A long economic winter looms on America's horizon. If the grasshoppers don't develop sustainability and self-suffciency soon, they will be left out in the cold.
