WHERE I STAND
You can pretty well surmise that from reading this site, but you can rely on my attempting to come from an unbiased and as factual-rational a viewpoint as possible. I think I come from a balanced point of view that is neither stuck in the left or the right ideology, using what works to the extent possible and discernible by me or from non-biased thinkers. I, of course, have to assimilate much from biased thinkers, removing the prejudices and looking at the substance.
