David - My name is Steve. I came to this board represent my views, listen to opposing views - and maybe learn a little from people with different views than mine. Simple as that. I do not profess to be an expert on the subjects discussed on this board - but I care greatly about what is going on it the world today. I am familiar with all the people on the board - I started reading this board from the beginning (before your Mom directed you to this website 10 ? years ago). I just recently decided to dive in. I by no means though, am looking to give or receive personal attacks and if "my kind" is not welcome here, you or Dan just let me know
