Richard D. Gierloff  1950-2018 Gilbert, Arizona—It’s with great sadness that I must report on the death of Phoenix, Uber-Lawyer, Richard D. Gierloff this past Monday (04-09-18). Richard was my personal lawyer, mentor and friend for well over three decades.  He handled criminal cases exclusively, including many death penalty matters.  He took on each case as a matter of life and death for his clients.  He never undertook his duties in a lighthearted manner.  Richard was a very meticulous winner. Richard began his working life as a drug abuse counselor; soon he entered the University of Arizona Law School.  He went on to become one of Arizona’s greatest lawyers.  I was really pleased to work as his investigator on so many high profile cases.  Together we had many great victories.    Richard was stricken with throat cancer last year and waged a courageous battle.  He was ...

That’s a sad but realistic view of our society that tolerates ignorance despite our taxpayer funded public education.   Our massive immigration invitation to the worlds poor and illiterate combined with acceptance of their refusal to learn how to read and write has become a major crisis. Too many of our own children, particularly Blacks and Hispanics are allowed to reject the tools needed to escape a lifetime of financial dependency.   Our illiterates are doomed to only receive communication rather than creating and influencing their world.   The future is in clearly creating watchable video.  Government, businesses, news providers and entertainers must cater to our illiterate society.  Of course video communication is now superior to any other form.  Being able to create exceptional video will be the ultimate influencing skill.   We must equip our children with the tools and resources so they are not allowed to fail. The best ca...
