Danny, I do not think your questions unfair or outragious.  In fact I think they are quite good.  I too have been one who has long thought the President's Desk column was a waste of time, and that is before President Allen.  I know what time of year it is...I dont need to know that the president has been busy getting his wheat cut.  I want to read about the club from the Presidents eyes since the last issue.  In my opinion it should be more of a State of the Club address.  I have always thought that if not in every issue, this should be done at least once a year.

As for a Renegade running for office and getting into something blindly...that may very well be the only way to get the end result that you desire.  You know the old saying "get it done or die trying"
