GREG MORGAN, thirty-something communications specalist, lounges in his comfortable desk chair. He is thumbing through articles on his TABLET, listening to the news on TV, casually drinking coffee and jotting down notes on a PAPER PAD, he is starting his day seemingly the same way he typically starts a day.

Scripting the script is more than just editorializing. Sharing my individual thoughts is just one component. I aim to contribute to ongoing dialogues, as well as introduce a few of my own. They may be timely, or something that has escaped the front of our collective minds.
