    We all have thoughts and perspectives and opinions. Its simply part of the human condition as a socialized species. So In the interest of insight, this is where I will share my perspective and opinions.
     I will always endeavor to provide a well thought out and articulated commentary even if the topic or content within is opposed to the view point of anyone else.

    When respect and open mindedness is a base line, then communication can become the most powerful of exchanges.
