I have made two relatively short posts and it is time to let everyone know who I am. My name is Tom and I am a White Middle-Aged male living in Pennsylvania. I am 49 years old. I decided to start this blog not because I am an expert on everything but because I have substantial amount of knowledge about a number of things and because I have been reading, watching and listening since I was old enough to decipher what was going on.
I read anything I can get my hands on and I watch television and listen to the radio (music, variety, news and talk shows on both) because I refuse to let myself be limited to just one source of information. I do not feel that I can be truly informed on a subject unless I am aware of the opinions and, in the case of politics, the policies of all parties involved.
You will be seeing regular posts on a variety of subjects. You may agree with me and you may not. That is a good thing. Disagreements, communicated in a civil manner and with open mindedness on both sides, can many times result in a compromise position that is superior in many ways to either original suggestions or thoughts.
The bane of all societies everywhere is the group or groups who absolutely refuse to even discuss alternatives and who are convinced that no one could possibly have any ideas or beliefs that are superior to theirs.
