Hello, everyone.

By way of introduction, I thought I would explain why I started this blog.

I am a male of 45+ years of age. I have been married (16 years), and divorced (8 months) and have children that mean the world to me. That leads me to be concerned about what the world will be like when they try to have families of their own.

I also have a background, and some training in:Critical Thinking, martial arts, Military Tactics/Navigation/History, with a some Officer/Leadership training. Also, I have been a gun owner, for target shooting, not hunting, for the last 30 years. I've earned a living in both the White, and Blue Collar world, and have taken some amazing experiences away from them, and learned some amazing things.

After having some amazing conversations, as well as heated discussions, on some popular Social Media websites, it occurred to me that  some of the things I was saying, and observations I was making, did not appear anywhere else that I had exposure to. (emphasis on *some* of the things I was saying, and modifier "that I was exposed to".)
Other things I was saying seemed to jibe with other opinions and reports, giving me the feeling that I wasn't the only one that had these thoughts.

I plan to bring some of those ideas here, and share links and images that I find fit with my mode of thought.

I hope you can join in, no matter what your opinion of my thoughts. Please, bring your own, and share them with the rest of us.

Thanks for tuning in.

NOTICE: This Blog DOES NOT have an Adult Content Warning, so keep your comments and postings clean, and free from vulgarity.If you can't keep yourself from doing that, I reserve the right to either edit your comment/post, or delete it entirely.

If you don't already know the biggest rule of debate, I shall explain: You are welcome to attack the IDEAS, but NOT the PERSON. Same response as vulgarity. Edit or delete, with extreme prejudice.

Also, I have monetized this blog, so that you will see adverts in the sidebar. (I think I get $0.03 for every hundred views... Or maybe that's per thousand views...) If you see an advertisement that could be construed as obscene, (nudity, vulgarity, etc You know, Porn.) let me know right away, and I will deal with it as quickly as I can. I will not respond to claims of obscenity when they are applied to "normal" commercial, political, or even religious advertisements. I have little or no control over the ads, but I know I can petition Google to block certain "commercial entities"
