message 1: by Meran

Meran Hi Tom!
Your resume is very impressive indeed. On your "friend me" request, you mention sending me one of your books for my perusal. After reading your short biography, I'm curious as to which of your books you thought would interest me.
I'm very much into social change, change that is very much needed. I was one of those truly flabbergasted when the person who had no business being president won.
I see that he's definitely changing things, but am finding that the changes look much more like catastrophes.... changes more like Hurricane Maria than curing bad tax laws,,, or cancer.

Thanks for finding me! (How did you find me? And why me?)

Meran
