165 years old male of Scots-Irish ancestry, married over 30 years, semi-literate, semi-mostly-retired.
Have many children and grandchildren and they are all great people.
I tend to write about politics and religion primarily, but I will probably go astray from time to time.
Following is a short list of things I tend to follow and have great interest in:
Family and friends, grandchildren, photography, darkrooms, history, archeology, paleoanthropology, phylogeography, bioarchaeology, scuba diving, computers, software, fast cars, journalism, writing, travel, ecology, news, science, Biology, philosophy, farming, ranching, religion, dinosaurs, and probably most other subjects you could think of.
Did I mention family and friends??
Sometimes there are just so many words in my head they all spill out.
I will try to not be boring.
Thank you for visiting, and peace to all.

We are an independent research group conducting a study of people who write blogs. The purpose of the study is to understand if and how bloggers are making money from their blog, specifically through paid sponsorship of blogs or blog posts paid for by advertisers. Your participation will assist ad network companies to bring better products to market for bloggers.
It consists of less than 20 questions and should take about 10 minutes to complete.
Here is a link to the survey:

It’s unfortunate that the truth is clowded on purpose by those with agendas.
I appreciate you voicing what should be known but is ignored.
I dream of a day when people want to know the truth.

Hey, I have a question for you. What is the purpose and meaning of life?
thewordofme // September 16, 2009 at 11:07 PM |
Hi again Justin,
How nice to hear from you again…how is college treating you? Have the science teachers threatened to toss you out of class yet?
You write:
“Hey, I have a question for you. What is the purpose and meaning of life?”
A big part of my purpose is to love and support my family and friends.
I think my purpose in life is kind of Darwinian…to pass on the knowledge of the past and present and to further the dispersion of the species, and to work to insure the survival of not only my offspring, but all of humanity. Further I think it is incumbent on all of us to work to alleviate pain and suffering in our world, to help those in need, to continually be learning and working to make our world safe for all of us.
We have only this life and we need to make the best possible use of it. We as a people need to learn that life is a fragile and beautiful thing and needs constant reinforcement and support from all of us from the greatest to the most vulnerable. We must learn to treat our world and environment with greater respect and do our part to stop the degradation of our only home in the cosmos.
I can tell you what it is NOT…”Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.” Just how egotistical is your God anyway?
If it were all up to Christian and Muslim religion we would be setting around on our butts waiting for Armageddon or some such crud. Research and learning would be a thing of the past…why research anything…God did it. We would enter another dark-age and the spirit of mans intellect, that glow in the dark vastness of the universe, would be extinguished forever…all for nothing…as there is no God.
I truly fear for this world as there are forces afoot conspiring to end civilization as we know it, and there is serious effort behind this plot. If religion is allowed to stand we are doomed as a people.
