ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Crawford
Crawford claims to be so old that the ringing in his ears was caused by the Big Bang. He has far too much education for his own good and too much experience to defer to the powers that be. Despite being a political oddity there, he is from Tennessee, from the place where the sun shines bright and the moonshine’s delicious.
His experience includes holding public elective office, as well as being executive director for a nonprofit, a foreign correspondent, writing for an academic journal, working for military intelligence and being homeless, back in the 1950s, before it became so popular.
Crawford holds eight patents and lost a fortune trying to monetize one of them. He finally learned the truth of the old saying, that a patent only gives you the right to sue, but not necessarily successfully.
He still hasn’t decided what he wants to be when he grows up, if ever.
Academically, he was a tenured student, specializing in almost everything: math, physics, anthropology, history, political science, law, sociology and psychology. His graduate studies were in international relations and international economics.
