Introduction... Hello World.

MaD doG sez:

Hello.

I am MaD doG. I decided to start this blog because I need an outlet. The opinions published here are my own, for better or for worse.

I am basically conservative. I think that government is too big and that people should take personal responsibility for their lives. I think that for the most part, how your life turns out is a result of your actions and inactions. Ocassionally people need a hand. That hand should be given in a way that makes the person independent again as soon as possible.

I graduated high school in 1978 and joined the military. I have travelled extensively in Asia, and to a lesser extent in Australia and Africa. I am trained in mechanical engineering, computer administration, educational instruction and leadership among other things.

I am fairly smart but do stupid stuff occasionally.

I'd like to think I can help my family, my community, my country and the world.

I'll follow this with a few posts containing my opinions on energy policy, abortion rights, immigration and security and other topics to give you an idea on where I am coming from.

I'll also try to give you an insight into my life, as I see it. Hopefully something here can help make you life a little easier.

Feel free to ask questions or seek my advice on situations in your life. I'll give you my unbiased and unqualified advice. I have no fancy training in sociology, psycology ar anything remotely similar, but I have lived a fair portion of my life, and have learned quite a bit from the experience.

Thanks,
MaD doG
