A little bit about myself:
Southern (born and raised)
White (as if it mattered; but people want to know)
Male (yep)
Heterosexual (yep, again)
Father (one boy, damn near grown)
Veteran (Petty Officer in US Navy)
Pseudo-Intellectual (well-read; have well-thought out positions; don't do anything about it)
Self-Educated (read constantly and promiscuously; curious about pretty much everything)
"Liberal" in the 19th century British meaning of the term (out of self-interest; I don't want to live in an aristocracy)
