This blog is meant as an outlet for my research and opinion writings on political, social and cultural issues.  I will post writings here of my opinions, mostly backed up by facts and research, and sometimes by just what I regard as common sense.  The forum will be there for people to respond and post their responses and their own opinions but as this is my blog I will demand facts and references to back up these postings.  Those that I determine to be too inflammatory or without basis in fact will be expunged.  I welcome all thoughtful, polite discussion and look forward to it.  I don't expect you to agree with everything I say but if you disagree let me know why and what makes you believe this.  I will not regard anything on Fox as reality and will not suffer posts that refer to Fox news or for that matter any other Murdoch Syndicate owned news source.

I look forward to our discussions.
