A Lifetime solving problems, helping people, improving systems and "being worth knowing."
Bringing Technology, Science, Marketing, Psychology and Negotiation to MS Government.- It was a Wednesday, 2 days after Katrina before I returned to my house in Waveland. I was down to a dog, a cat, a pickup truck, a small backpack of clothes, a camera and a flip phone. I would describe my mindset at the time as... traumatized. I'm certain you have your own dark memories of that time. 18 years later and Louisiana has re-built levees, constructed the $700M Great Wall of Chalmette, hardened their outer marshes and approved building a Flood Protection Barrier across the entrance to Lake Pontchartrain (which will also redirect hurricane storm surge to Hancock and Harrison Counties.) ... and what has been done to protect Hancock County from Hurricanes? It was 36 years between Hurricanes Camille & Katrina. We're 1/2 way there.
- Marijuana to treat unbearable neck pain, inflammation & nausea entered my life after a Feb 2022 "rear ending" by a new driver. The unnecessary suffering inflicted while awaiting the availability of medicinal marijuana was intolerable. The [FULL LEGALIZATION]{yellow} of Marijuana for medical AND recreational uses should be pursued in Mississippi. Current sentences for the possession, use AND distribution of marijuana should be nullified and expunged. Safe, quality controlled marijuana, untainted by lethal fentanyl, should be available for purchase to all in Mississippi who want it.
- Giving every child access to a quality education, regardless of race or income is the civil rights issue of our day. Every proposed solution, even vouchers, seems to increase State control over children at the expense of parents. A System to empower Parents, increase flexibility and EXEMPT parents from income, property, inventory and grocery taxes should be explored.

a systems engineering treatise by John Gall in which he offers practical principles of systems design based on experience and anecdotes. It is a commentary on prior work by Alfred Korzybski called General Semantics which conjectured that all systems failures could be attributed to a single root cause—a failure to communicate. Gall observes that, instead, system failure is an intrinsic feature of systems.
Complex systems exhibit unexpected behavior. A system of Legislators, Governor, Judiciary and Administrative Personnel is wildly complex.
Infrastructure projects to reduce the risk of both are necessary.
