In the beginning...

          Welcome. This is a new a experience for me. This blog will be a place for me to write down the million thoughts going through my mind about anything and everything. In it, I will discuss everything from gun control to immigration, current news to history, and Facebook's influence to politeness in our society. Pondering, analyzing, and discussing these and similar topics is one of my greatest passions. I greatly enjoy hearing others opinions and comments. I write this for myself, simply as a record of my thoughts. Perhaps it may interest you. In that case, welcome to the Silent Man's Soapbox.
