Public Administration. When Colin retired, Condoleezza Rice stepped up to bat. Then Hilary Clinton came in with Mr. Obama. When Colin Powell retired, in an interview with AARP, he basically said he told those people...... just give me my $$$ for AIDS in Africa and I am out. Remember how Bush II, left him holding the bag? Colin served under a republican president, as a republican. I considered republicanism briefly, then changed my mind. Then, after Colin retired, he voted for Mr. Obama - publicly. I think that ass of a man, Rush Limbaugh, called him a racist. Remember? Complexity. I have no desire to work for the government. I do not have the skill set for political machinations. It is really an art form, and you have to be careful because you can literally lose your head. Or, be in Leavenworth somewhere for the remainder of your natural life. Snowden - people will play you out of position if you let them. Susan Rice looked upset just saying his name. Her face was like - please - where he at? My graduate studies will give me my MPA in a minute - Insha Allah. My graduation ceremony is in October. Many people who receive an MPA use it for public sector - government work. I am not one of them. I am a social entrepreneur. I use my MPA in the nonprofit sector, and the private sector. I plan to work with the government in the future to help solve some social problems that the government has problems addressing due to political constraints. I am not alone. There are many of us out here. As a young woman, I could have joined the Marines. In retrospect, it is kinda funny. The recruiter, who was a private friend of mine, had arranged everything, he had the paperwork ready for me to sign. In his office, I kept thinking about a film called Full Metal Jacket - a film directed by Stanley Kubric. I told him very gently that day that I changed my mind. Life is funny - a full circle. I want for my brother what I want for myself - Am I my brothers keeper? Yes I am!!!
