So, Lamont, you only have a master's ?
Pity.
You did follow Ms Southey's career as a mature student, I trust.
At any rate- let us not presume to be superior to other people because we perceive them to be somewhat inferior in formal education.
Why don't you try writing op/ed pieces for submission to national publications? It is a talent that I don't have- and  I have more advanced degrees than "master's"
Good luck with that.
