Is it me, or is the Watcher’s Council membership disproportionately made up of paranoids who expect invasion from Russia at any moment and a Communist dictatorship in the U.S. one day after Barack Obama is re-elected?
It hasn’t always been that way. I’m sort of the last hold-out of a more centrist Watcher’s Council. Example: I replaced Joe Gandelman of The Moderate Voice on the Council.
I see. Things do change, don’t they?
