I'm wearing my cloak of invisibility. I can't say much for your style sense (stripes and polka dots? Oh, really now!) but it's a free country ... perhaps not for long, but at least right now. One of the good things about a cloak of invisibility is that you can be nude underneath and no one will know. This is especially useful on a nude beach. If every nude person on a nude beach wore a cloak of invisibility, life would be much simpler.

I will be delighted to receive your comments (pro or con) at any time at my principal email address, "davidlaibow1215[at]yahoo.com". The Philippines is an intensely high-tech country from one end to the other (and texting is making the landline telephone obsolete). I enjoyed reading your comments about me (I've had worse -- a LOT worse -- sand to my face, so seeing this type of thing online doesn't trouble me. This week, failing notification from Scott De Sapio that they aren't acceptable, I'd like to begin posting my "Requiem For An Empire" blog essays for you to consider. By the way, I like the Atlas Shrugged Movie very much for a cinematic condensation; but if John Galt's "I am the man who loves his life" speech is omitted as a feature on the CD (since it's obviously impractical for the story, and a few sentences out of context are meaningless), then the entire project is diminished. If you like the movie, why not contact FOX NEWS and suggest that it be shown overnight, instead of repeats of the O'Reilly/Hannity/Greta prime-time repeats? This will make money for Fox and for the producers. You might care to focus on this as opposed to fruitless analysis of my character (which is what it is and isn't very changeable.
