PAID POLITICAL CONTENT Dear Editor, If government ran more like the private sector, government would be better. Having spent most of my 30-year career in the private sector, I agree. I earned a role as the Senior Director of Operations for a company that employed 8,000 trade workers whose skill and experience determined whether we succeeded. We worked on Military assets, so failure was not an option. The private sector posts job openings including the required skills/experience and applicants...

I offer this response apolitically, and only to express caution to readers about relying on the assertions of the letter, as many of them...
If you or your family has had the opportunity to pack a meal for a branding crew or other livestock gatherings, you may remember the days that coffee was not made and packed to the site in thermos bottles, rather the coffee was most often made over the branding fire or such.

One thing I will admit—it was fresh coffee....

Some physicians from different cultures/countries stated an amazing epiphany/insight as they forced themselves toward more personal critical thinking objectivity. In contrast, other physicians had more difficulty moving from their subjective biases in their thought processes. However, the...
