We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
We mix and match courses with our Great Courses friends in the neighborhood. Get rid of your cable and use your boob tube for their DVDs. Your entire quality of life will be improved.
I love the company and their courses. Instead of DVD's I usually access via video or audio download or streaming. They have a nice app now that works well on smart phone/tablet.
