John Sigler is a writer and activist (Maintain Educational Standards in Colorado) based in Colorado. After noting how being named a "fellow" of a think tank today makes one a modern oracle, a sibyl qualified to discuss any and all issues as an expert (e.g. note the "experts" of the Discovery Institute, the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation, et al.), I simply could not pass up the opportunity to be named a "fellow" of the Enlightenment Institute. In that I have a great deal to say on many different topics, I certainly hope that essays such as this for the Enlightenment Institute will result in my acquisition of "fellow" status.
