About Me:
As far as politics go I do not care for the direction of the United States and don't care for those in charge. 'We the People' deserve better than a lesser of two evils. I believe that year after year we drift further and further from what this country once stood for and what it really needs.
As for religion I don't care for organized religion as a whole. However, some religions are far better and more desirable than others in their moral structure and methods. The notion of a creator is not lost on me. It think it is quite possible, probable even when one looks at the complex, massive and fortunate structure and scale of the cosmos. Mind you, there does exist evidence that matter can 'appear' out of nowhere and from nothing on the quantum level, so who really knows?
As for science I deem it should not be restricted and tunneled as it is today. It should not be used for gain or profit of fools. Science should be a free enterprise much like Nikola Tesla's idea of free energy. I am not a big 'green energy' type of person and am disgusted with most of it.
In my spare time I enjoy Chess, Billiards, Darts, Baseball, Football, Fishing, Snowmobiling, Cooking, Video Games(not obsessively) and the occasionally adult beverage. However, the occasion seems to come up quite frequently. ;P
