Welcome to my blog, hopefully you'll find it interesting, thought-provoking, and maybe you might even learn something. I hope to reap the same benefits from those who read my work and correspond with me.

I think Jon Stewart puts it best: "This country is run by extremists because moderates have shit to do." Everywhere you look, politicians, the media, and seemingly everyone else seems hell bent on polarizing this nation and every issue we face as Americans and citizens of the global community. Worst of all, I see my generation embracing and accepting this divisiveness as the modus operandi of American government and politics. Left unchecked, these attitudes will only further degrade this nation's ability to govern itself for the benefit of all its citizens. We must take a stand as the generation of our nation's future leaders, to move towards the middle rather than the extremes, working together for the benefit of all.

"People talk about the middle of the road as though it were unacceptable. Actually, all human problems, excepting morals, come into the gray areas. Things are not all black and white. There have to be compromises. The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters."
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
