About Me

After many years of rolling over in my grave at the way this country has been run I have finally decided to stand up and do something about it. I helped raise a revolution before and now I intend to do so again.
I would like to remind everyone that this great country was founded to protect our natural rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness and, ..."That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
I am not advocating abolishment... yet, but a change but take place or I fear what we fought for will be lost at the hands for whom we fought.
When the powerful fight only to maintain that power, they will fall to the hands of the People who gave them that power. We are the People. It is time for us to take our country back. For people should not be afraid of their government. The government should be afraid of its people.

My Interests

Of all my hobbies I'd say women are the most interesting. I've also dabbled in science here and there. A particular incident with a kite and a bolt of lightening comes to mind. You might have read about that somewhere.
