Hi Cruel World!
My name is Bander and I'm privileged to be the first to post in the welcome thread. I'm mostly liberal in my thinking but I like to be open to reasonable new ideas which might help our nation preserve the rich history and essential freedoms on which it was founded. I don't read a lot of political prose or opinion. When something strikes my fancy, I'll do an internet search and see if I can find opinions that make good sense.
I'm fifty-some years young and have enjoyed a splendid life. I have my B.S. degree in Music Education, which I have never used, and I have my A.A.S. degree in Agribusiness/Horticulture/Landscape Design which I have thoroughly used. I've worked for good businesses and bad businesses and enjoyed most my time at Monticello and the University of Virginia.
I'm currently living in Virginia, I'm a native as were many generations of my family, but I'm in the process of moving to Pennsylvania over the next month. I'm looking forward to meeting new friends there and will be sorry to say goodbye to many friends in Virginia. Hopefully some of the VAers can come visit when I'm finally 'installed' in the big house in PA.
I hope to welcome many folks to this forum in the next several months. Please don't be shy about posting. I usually just sit and type whatever I'm thinking, so it's easy to be a participant. Thanks to bornliberal for providing a place where people can speak freely.
Ciao,
Bander
