I worked at LANL for more than a decade. I think it is a unique organization that has a lot of great people. If you want to find a prototype for your flawed person template, I’m a perfect fit. Maybe even better than you suggest. It didn’t bother me at all to help sharpen sticks when I believed in the cause of the national experiment. I liked it, maybe I was even well-suited for it. But, in 2016 I realized that an alarming demographic in this country simply do not deserve the protection afforded by sticks so sharp. No significant loss to LANL, but I was comforted to see more than few colleagues that felt the same way. I wish I could say I just quit, but it took a period of disillusionment mixed with other frustrations and opportunities. Anyway, today I am glad to see Cory Booker drop out. All this we-are-one is so much BS. Marcus
