So the proper attribute should be Robert A. Hall a former Mass. State Senator and Marine Corp veteran. Thanks for the research denuseri. Though I wouldn't call his writing "elitest propaganda" since he is entitled to his opinion, which he seems to give freely at his blog http://tartanmarine.blogspot.com/ . I don't have to agree with everything he says to agree that a lack personal responsibility is a serious problem here in the USA.

Cheers
