I am a conservative thinker, retired since 1991 from the field of Nuclear Reactor Safety as a Mechanical Engineer. I enjoy reading the posts of many of the learned "FReepers" who keep this web site so interesting. I delight in thinking for myself and have instilled this philosophy into the minds of my three children years ago. Today they are all productive adults enjoying the benefits of our great nation. My prayer is that each child in school would learn self reliance, love for fellowmen, and love for the Creator of us all. The key to progress, health and prosperity is to follow the golden rule -- think of the other fellow first and help him whenever you can.
