| Introduction | Rational: proceeding or derived from reason or based on reasoning: a rational explanation. Protagonist: From the Greek, to act ones part. Part Humanist, Part Naturalist, Artist, observer, Scientist, Part time Atheist, Human Being. This is the culmination of a lifetime of being surrounded by amazing thinkers. My grandfather, Father, and mother certainly played a role. As did my ninth grade Humanities teacher, Edna Mae Roten. There came a point where I could just no longer coast by in life. I watched my son growing up in a world of insanity, superstition, and rampant greed. It was time, time for me to do something.
