Public Interest News Network
“The most important political office is that of the private citizen.” - Justice Louis Brandeis
Stardate 2018
Editor's Note: Given modern news and social media, little 'news' can be found to be "in the public interest." No one cares anymore. Too preoccupied with faces, music, what's 'trending now', or not, and self-aggrandisement. Fine but spend SOME time learning how to insure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the 21st Century.
