About Me

I am many things. Many things you would know by looking at me and many things you would not know. I am too smart to be an intellectual and too ADHD to be an academic. I believe that some believe I live in “the Greatest Country in the World.” I believe you are both right and wrong in that. I believe that I am the progeny of many people, many races, many struggles, many successes and still many more choices. I have an obligation to embrace the heritage handed down to me and continue the journey left to my generation. I used to believe actions spoke louder than words, but then I saw the 2000 election. I now know that words, uttered enough times by enough people for long enough will always move us farther than just actions. So these are my words. I’m sure you have yours, feel free to share them. I have some rules for this blog: 1. I welcome debate on any opinion or statement I make but I reserve the right to take the discussion off-line; 2. If I feel that a comment is being used to subvert the topic I reserve the right to remove the comment from the blog.; 3. ANY comments made with more-rhetoric-than-fact WILL BE REMOVED.

Student protest @ NC State Freedom of Expression tunnel

Students block N.C. State's Free Expression Tunnel over slurs :: WRAL.com

I love that the students are using their rights to protest. I just wish I could agree with what they are protesting. You can't have "Free" speech and have it regulated. You can't have "Free" expression and have it limited. You can't have "Free" anything with rules or guidelines on it. If you want the "Don't offend me or us or them or anyone" Expression wall...not too many people will use it and no one would want to read what's on it. Welcome to the hardest to take freedom a diverse population can have!
