- Bio
- L.E. Alba (aka Lary9) was born to a venerable Louisiana political family during the Truman administration. Educated in engineering and liberal arts, this father of three opinionated offspring, has had a lifelong love affair with all things American especially political independence. He routinely apologizes for his progressive zeal by claiming to be besotted with Liberty. After serving in the USAF during the undeclared Vietnam war, he promptly joined the Woodstock Generation, lived in a commune in Haight-Ashbury and, despite the seductive Sirens of the west coast, began to cultivate a stubborn but artistic Yankee sensibility. More often than not, this landed him squarely in radical left-wing territory on most issues. Lately he has been thinking about retiring from politics since not many windmills of substance remain for tilting but his Louisiana roots are deep and proving to be retirement-resistant.

The Rich And Les Sens Sociologique
In the last 20 years of the 18th. Century, two revolutions took place which attempted to move nations from their hereditary aristocracies to new paradigms in self-government.
The first, the American, was essentially a handful of colonial upstarts who ran away from home and then started their own form of aristocracy without noble titles. The second, the French, was a more radical, more blood-earnest struggle. It reached for an entirely new weltanschauung... a redefined Franco-consciousness with reconstructed citizenship. Consequently, these European psychosocial explorers were poised to act when Marxism presented itself later in the next century.
IMHO , there is no doubt that the vector of historic inevitability is firmly fixed in the matter; that the whole idea of hereditary mega-wealth will become a predatory anachronism. The aristocracy of unlimited ownership of "the-zero-sum-pie" is hazardous to all mankind. The rich breed like 1st cousins thus becoming societal hemophiliacs---through ex consanguinitas but even more in spirit. It is no wonder that they are dullards to les sens sociologique. The burning question that I harbor is not whether it will happen but how will it come to pass?
