James C MorantJames C. Morant is a retired federal employee who has worked on domestic and global health and environmental policy and programs. He worked, for 39.5 years, in adjusting language, providing nuanced statements, clarifying administration positions (bot Republican and Democrat), and making sure policy positions were clear and clever enough to stand scrutiny of the press or other officials-here and abroad. The luxury retirement and social media provides is that he doesn't have to nuance anything anymore, and it feels good. You will get his sense of unabridged and unbridled joy as you read some of his commentaries on politics, race, the media and on cultural anomalies Traveling to five continents has also made him keenly aware of just how remarkably attitudes, actions and trends are influenced by social media. Before the advent of social media, he had several of his opinion pieces published in the Baltimore Sun, the Washington Post and New York Times editorial pages. He retired from federal service in June, 2009. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland. He used social media for the first time on January 31, 2011. Read More Read Less
