It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child... Ok, that isn't true, but I do love that opening line of the movie "The Jerk".
Here one day and gone the next, my life never seems to permit me to commit to Truth Seekers continuously. I do, however, make some time to check in on the discussions.
Like Dani, I moved to AZ when I was five and consider it the home base for me. But, unlike her, when I graduated from college I moved away when I joined the Air Force and have never moved back. Finally, after moving from town to town, I have settled down in Spain.
A mechanical engineer by education standards and a utilities manager by day on an Air Force base, I am also somewhat of an accomplished writer. I have yet to make the steps towards earning life off of my writing, but I am making the journey towards that goal.
Married to a native of Spain, I have one daughter who recently graduated from high school and is now starting the university life. Children are the best instruments to make one realize how time flies by.
Politically speaking, I come from a family of democrat followers. But, as I ventured into life, I realized how the left wasn't always right and the right wasn't aways wrong. Somehow, I have found myself to be a centeralized political believer with rightwing spices on some subjects. To me, Ronald Reagan was probably the single most influencial politician of my lifetime to date with Gorbachev being a close second.
While I attempt to listen to all sides of the story, I do have a large shield of doubt surrounding me whenever I hear the "victim" stories. I also don't buy when politicians expect people to buy off on political party lines despite beleiving in the message or not.
Truthseekers is a place I find frustrating, educational and almost always repectful. Unlike too many other messageboards that quickly reduce discussions into elementary school recess name calling sessions, truthseekers attempt to reveal the truth as they see it. And, while facts exist, the truth...in the end...is one's own perception of the facts.
