Surprise! I'm not a Conservative!
I have been posting for a couple days now but I thought it was time to introduce myself to the board.
I suppose the most important thing for people to know about me as it pertains to this site is that I am a liberal progressive living in the blue suburbs of a very red state.
As far as specifics on my political beliefs:
I am proponent of Keynesian economics with the major exception of central banking.
I believe in well executed government social programs as well as federal and international aid.
I don't agree with the war on drugs and I would be ok with the legalization of medical marijuana.
I am a strong proponent of universal equality.
I am a very very strong proponent of STEM based education and that better scientific understanding leads to a better human condition. Being in the STEM field professionally probably contributes to this.
There are a few spots where I tend to disagree with other liberals for example:
The war on terrorism is not a bad thing. Whether or not it has been well executed is the question.
I am adamantly opposed to the extremist antiGMO wave currently sweeping through (ultra)liberal politics.
I am (PERSONALLY) opposed to abortion, I do not believe I have the right to give a litmus test to candidates of the human race. However I am strongly in support of abortion being a legal, safe and accesible option for those who do not feel the way I do.
Random Facts
I am a geek. Comics video games movies and books all occupy a place in my life. Barry Allen is a hero to me. The Mass Effect Trilogy is the best video game series ever (well maybe not the last five minutes but that is a discussion for another time). Some of my favorite books include: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Brothers Karamazov, Alice in Wonderland, The Moral Landscape, Walden and Frankenstein. Almost everything Dr Sagan wrote and the greatest american novel To Kill a Mockingbird. I am aslo an avid hiker and runner.
That is all I got for you. I hope to talk to you all soon and thanks for reading!

But most importantly - are you a Whovian?
I am completely ASHAMED of myself for neglecting to mention The Doctor.
Are you ready for TWELVE?!
Absolutely though I am apparently the only person in my circle of Whovians who is excited for Twelve. The little vest grab he did during his intro sealed it for me.
I just think he'll be perfect. Matthew Smith did nothing for me.
I loved Smith's Doctor but the writing the last few series as been well awful. The River Song arc is the stuff of nightmares

Arizona got ruined be Liberals fleeing the socialist republic of California and an invasion from south of the border.
I remember the Arizona of the 60's when Phoenix was the size Tucson is today.
Don't you (whatever you are calling yourselves this week) worry, there will always be enclaves of Conservatives that you can't get at.
