Let me introduce myself

Hi there. I'm one of the rare species of Americans known as a moderate. Please do not tap the glass as you walk by.

I started this blog to see if there are others out there who are tired of hearing 5 second arguments from both sides of the aisle and actually want to think about the issues (political, social and economic) that face the U.S. and the world.

I really am doing this to put some thoughts down and see if I'm the one that's weird or if the world around me is as out of control as I think it is.

My first real post will focus on politics and why the right and the left are poor excuses for what purports to be rational discourse.

I am not an elected official or do I strongly identify with either party. I hope you find this interesting. All I ask is that if you comment, please come up with something original...talking points from either side are really not welcome here. If you can think for yourself, you are welcome here.
