I would like to thank the following people who helped clarify the text:

Dr. David Manning White, my anti-elliptical word maven, consistently said simplify, simplify and simplify; (deceased)

Emily Martindale, a person who showed faith at critical times, suggested some significant editorial clarifications for easier understanding;

Loren, my brother, offered his perspective as a concerned citizen wanting to make the world better for his children; (deceased)

Lyle Cisney, who tried to temper my distain for incumbency, and Robert Hayes, who tried to temper my love for hyphens, read the text to find obvious problems; and

Cathy, my supportive wife, best friend and better ecos nomist, has held the writings, effort and me together through thick and thin. A saint. The person who made timism a reality.
