In daring to open this space to the public, I run the risk that my opinions on the state of the world will meet with resistance. As these are merely my opinions, I expect them to be taken with a grain of salt.

But I am not sorry for how I feel and I will not hold back. I see the world as I do and I give the benefit of the doubt to as many folks as I can. It just isn’t realistic to believe you can meet everyone in the middle and I suspect I wont’ be able to.

The political landscape we find ourselves in is a veritable minefield and I know I will step on a few as I trudge through this journey called life. So long as I can avoid any truly insane responses like doxing and the like, I should be able to proceed unabated. I expect a fair share of wounds but if my thoughts reach even one set of receptive eyes and land as intended, it was all worth it.

You’ve been warned, and I’ll try to keep the political detours to a minimum, but it is impossible to avoid entirely.
