What’s it all about

I am not an expert.  I am not a genius.  I am not one of the lucky few.  I am one of the many.  I have had a decent education, an associates degree.  I have studied geology and philosophy.  I have worked for 20+ years in the food service industry.  Now that I have told you all the reasons that I am not special let me tell you why I am starting this blog.

Sometimes we all need a moment, some time, to process what we see in the world around us.  This will be my space to do just that.  This will be where I work through whatever is on my mind at the time.  No topic will be off limits.  Politics, religion, economics, all aspects of the human condition are fair game.  I always try to see things from all the angles that I can before I form a position.  On the spectrum of political belief I am definitely more liberal than conservative, but I do not ascribe to any political party.  I see the value in libertarian ideals of limiting the reach of government into our lives, but I also understand that unfettered capitalism leads to injustice on a scale that no American would want for their neighbors.  This is the dichotomy that informs my thoughts.  This space will be where I carry out this discussion with myself.  We shall see where it takes me.  That is all for now.
