This is where I air my thoughts. I talk about guns, I talk about politics, I talk about religion. I'm a low-rent philosopher.
These are my opinions, I try to back them up with facts when I can, but this is not a research paper so citations might be very spotty. I will try to give credit where credit is due. That applies to blame as well.
Some basic things: I am pro-gun. I'm a heterosexual who supports gay rights. I'm an atheist who supports freedom of religion. I'm a disabled veteran. I'm a father. I'm a husband. I'm a scoundrel.
I believe in liberty and freedom. I feel that you have to give them to receive them. I believe that freedom and liberty have warts and unpleasant consequences; and I don't care. Eliminating freedoms to get the warts is exactly the wrong way to do it.
Liberty and freedom are ideals; unattainable in the real world. That means there are limits to them. There are things that are off limits here too.
This is my soap-box, not yours. If you have so much to say that you are drowning out what I am trying to say; make your own blog. I do welcome comments, however. Remember, this is not your place; but mine.
