Motivated to Action

Hello...and Welcome to the Middle of the Film...

I have always tried stay out of the blogging world. My feelings have always been that my opinions are my own and that no one really cares about them so why bother. I still feel that way but need an outlet for my ire of what has happened to this country since President Trump has taken control of the highest office in the land.

A Little Background on Me

I am a white American citizen who was born here in Brooklyn, NY in 1964. I  lived in New York City for 30 years and move to Tennessee in 2012 and have served in the U.S. Navy.

I own a small consulting firm that deals with technology and software for multiple companies across the U.S. and Europe. I own a house, pay my taxes and do not have a wife or children. I am divorced. I do have dogs.

My View on the Politics in the United States

I am not political and haven't voted for a while. People may criticize me for not voting and my response is that a vote IS a precious thing and should not be thrown away on someone who has not earned it. I don't believe in anti-voting meaning voting against something. If I vote, it is because I have been moved to support something.

I also think the Electoral College makes my vote null and void and should be done away with. The lack of a one man one vote system causes me to take it far less seriously than it should be and i question why a person who votes in  Montana has any less valid views and concerns that a voter in New York.

I do not identify myself as a liberal or a conservative but rather a moderate with common sense. I believe that the government is seriously broken and that partisan politics are against the interest of most Americans.

I will also flat out say that everything that is written here is based on how I see things meaning my interpretation of events.

I do my best to educate myself through viewing multiple news sources on both sides, but since I don't think the news provides all the facts or may present the facts skewed for ratings or based on its owners', editors' or correspondents' opinions,  I always try to find public records or statistics that are not biased and simply numbers.

If someone reads this and can prove with actual facts that I am incorrect, I will happily apologize. I have nothing to prove, I am not trying to get anything from anyone and just wanted to make some statements that seems to be missed or that I do not agree with.
