| Introduction | I was voted one of the "Class Clowns" by my fellow students in high school. That was nearly 40 years ago. Everything has pretty much been downhill from there, with the exception of getting married. My wife, of 29 years, and I have two boys who were grown and gone before we knew it. If she is correct, I will probably become a retired eccentric someday. Hopefully that place will be in Colorado. We lived there for a few years and there is no place on Earth quite like it, but, now that the nuts are now in control, that possibility seems less and less likely. I am a Conservative and a conservationist, but please don't confuse me with an extreme "Greenie." I grew up on a farm and understand what it is to be a good steward of the land and to be self-sufficient. I believe in the 1st Amendment which recognizes our right to Free Speech and the 2nd Amendment which recognizes our right to keep and bear arms to defend Amendment #1. I am for liberty and small government. I recently discovered that Sir William Wallace, Scottish Freedom Fighter, and myself share common grandparents from the 1200's. |
