My Philosophy

The University of Georgia is and always will be the first State Chartered University in America.  UNC needs to do a little more research on history.

Political Correctness is just enabling the semi-smart crazy people.

Republicans and Democrats can't get out of their own way long enough to figure out what's best for this country, this state, this county, or this town.

America is the land of opportunity.  You really can do whatever you want.  Wanna bitch about how the system is treating you poorly?  You can do that here.  Wanna bitch about how hard it is being rich?  You can do that here.  Wanna bitch about having student loans because your parents aren't rich enough to pay for college, but aren't poor enough to get grants?  You can do that here, but I don't think anybody's listening.

When you have two parties fighting over the country, the extremes get magnified, and yet it's the middle they're always fighting for.  In my limited historical knowledge of the past, it seems whoever can win the middle will win the election/war.  If we go way back to the Revolution, we can see where winning the middle won the war.  There were, of course, the Loyalists and the Colonialists, but why would people not involved in whatever was going on at the time want to change?  There were people living a happy life before the Revolution.  They were just existing.  What caused them to want to join a revolution?  The Boston Tea Party?  "Taxation Without Representation"?  People just wanting to be left alone?  Is it possible that the news and slogans from the North may have influenced some of those living in the South that the Royals were causing all these problems?  Is it also possible that people in the South were also suffering from the same oppression from England, but they weren't in the position to change anything until folks up North took a stand?

I'm just gonna ask questions.  Some of them you will not want to hear.  Hopefully that will foster some discussion on where we are, and where we are going.

We're also going to talk about UGA football from time to time, mostly between August and January.

Probably some other stuff too.
