I am a hillbilly with an education. I am a skeptic who holds strong political opinions. My opinions were not formed in the many classrooms of higher education, but through life, through the Marine Corps, through war, and through living in West Virginia where I have seen the best in people and the worst despair anywhere in the United States. My opinions are my own, if you don't like me, convince me I'm wrong, but if you plan to do that, please back it up with evidence.
