Democracy Chronicles

Major M D Mitchell articles

M D Mitchell, known by his friends as "Mitch", was born in 1967 and today lives by the ocean in the state of Maine. He served in the Maine Army National Guard as a Combat Engineer, retiring at the rank of Major, and served two tours of duty in Iraq, as well as humanitarian work in Guatemala. He was also a Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Department of State, serving in Washington D.C., Brazil, and Guyana. Prior to that, he was the Director of Education at the Wolfe's Neck Farm Foundation, in Freeport, Maine. Mitch was also a classroom teacher who taught U.S. History, and English to speakers of other languages in Maine and Japan. He is passionate about remaining true to the founding ideals of America, the ones written on paper about a "more perfect union", although, sadly, not always as practiced in reality.

The Pursuit Of Happiness Versus Lies, Fraud And Corruption

by M D Mitchell - August 27, 2018

The Pursuit Of Happiness

Can’t we just figure out that it would be better to just be honest, admit our human frailties, become a sex positive nation, embrace enthusiastic yes, and understand the “Pursuit of Happiness” clearly includes sex, and move on?

Another Case of Police Resorting to Violence Unnecessarily

by M D Mitchell - August 18, 2018

Police Resorting to Violence Unnecessarily

My Thoughts On The NFL Anthem Protest Controversy

by M D Mitchell - August 15, 2018

NFL Anthem Protest Controversy

I too love our nation and our flag. We should strive to be a nation where everyone wants to stand for the flag, rather than one that forces and coerces citizens to do so.

One Person, One Volunteer, One Better Way to Vote

by M D Mitchell - June 14, 2018

One Better Way to Vote

What a long strange trip it has been. I am still happily shocked that the people of Maine have now spoken via the ballot, twice, to insist that We the People are indeed in charge. Let’s hope our Representatives now represent us.
