About Me
I am retired military (U.S. Army), and I think that, except for bringing The United States of America into the community of nations, ending Slavery in the Americas, ending Fascism, Nazism & Communism in Europe, and ending the Japanese conquest of the Asian-Pacific basin, war and the threats of war have not solved mush in the last 250 years LOL. Please don't get me wrong here, I am not pro-war and I am not anti-war, I am pro-active and pro-action. I’m well read, so I have to think that anyone who takes Noam Chomsky seriously must be one of those people who always hate America First, without thinking that there might be a real reason for our America first policies. I have a love of classical music both Asian and Western, I have a degree in environmental science and although I have never used it in the work force I still keep up with what is going on in the field. I work for US Government, as a subcontractor, where ever and when ever I'm needed. I love the Fareast, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and parts of China. I have worked in the aviation field for over 30 years. I enjoy good conversations with intelligent people. I am a dichotomy of rational and irrational philosophies that at times drives me and I must admit some of my friends up a wall (I'm sorry for my friends) . It took me three decades before it dawned on me that my political opponents were every bit as Patriotic as I was. Sometimes a person gets so wrapped up in the issues that they lose sight of the bigger issue. That issue is, as Americans we are all in this together and together we shall stand or fall. It is up to each of us to decide what it will be. I was brought up in a military family. So we did not talk about ‘black’ Americans or ‘Mexican’ Americans. To my dad the Chief, they were just Americans. Rather then a Red State and Blue State dichotomy I was taught to see a Red White and Blue America. It’s true though there really are people in the world, even some Americans I’m sad to say, that hate America because of our freedoms. In most countries in the world even in Europe to criticize your government might bring you a visit from the police. We really are a blessed nation that we can stand in the public forum and complain about our government. Try that in; Russia, Iran, Burma, Syria, the list really is too long to enumerate.
