The First Dissident

With the end of the election process still fresh, the poet Job story give you a viewpoint to continue watching our political system at work. William Safire, wordsmith, has fine tuned our thoughts and perspective as we watch our democratic government accept its responsibility. God, Job, and friends take their lumps as we the governed will with our recent choices.
