All too often we see Authority as the truth, when we should see Truth as the authority.

About Me

Open minded, relatively intelligent individual with a bit of a negative/gloom and doom outlook on things. In short, a realist. Interested in all things socio-political and current event related. Bit of a pop-culture junkie. Love books and movies. Music is also a passion of mine. Listening to, but not playing. I unfortunately have no musical talent whatsoever. I've tried.
