About Me? This is a tricky question to answer as I’m not always entirely sure who I am from one moment to the next. In fact, all I'm certain of is that I'm not quite the same person as I was Ten years ago.To keep things simple, my views are quite different from most AmericansHow I think of myself: * Honest * Stubborn (in a good way) * Opinionated * Loyal * dedicated * borderline obsessiveMy social views are conservative, my politics are moderateI can't stand people who talk out of there ass, so I make it a point to know what I'm talking about, most of the time anyway.Despite appearances, I'm not some kind of activist.At least I don't think I am. I may write about controversial issues like marijuana legalization And Home distilled ethanol for fuel. But I most certainly don’t want to lead the next revolution. America can’t be changed overnight and it certainly can’t be changed by a few people blogging away in the back-rooms.Other than this, I’m a fully-fledged member of Generation X and cynic living in a world that swings between unbelievable naivety and utter paranoia.I have seen things that most people never get to see, and experience events from a perspective that most people do not realize exists. Naturally, I feel a need to tell people about it. I occasionally feel incredibly exasperated at the ignorance that is allowed to exist in the world, and by the actions of several groups who seems to be going to concerted effort to maintain this ignorance.These groups being:* Politicians with a vested interest in ensuring that current events and historical accounts are recorded only in a way that is favorable to their cause.* Media agencies that care less about informing the public of both sides of an argument, than they do about reinforcing people's views on the side that most suits the agency.* Media bosses who care less about providing an fair account of the news than they do about making money.As such, I am strongly of the opinion that too much important information is being controlled by people who shouldn’t be trusted to hand out complementary perfume samples, let alone direct public opinion.For this reason, I decided to try and provide a source of news that is not widely covered by the “big media”, and to cover events from the angles that they conveniently forget exist.There are some things that simply need a voice that is not waiving a charity collection envelope at you while it is speaking, or that need a counter voice to give the other side of the story in a world awash with propaganda written by the prominent media and the dominating American news corporations. This is why I'm Here.I am not specifically attacking or defending our Government and I am not writing without knowledge of American history, culture or politics. If I don’t include something it doesn’t mean that I am not aware of it, only that I haven’t felt the need to include it.I will gladly debate the issues, but don't feel obliged to post mean minded comments if you don't agree with what I say and aren't willing to listen.Lastly, I’m not politically backed, I’m not getting paid for this and you don’t have to read what I am writing if you don’t like it.
