Real name: Mikel. I really don't like this internet euphenism thing but understand some people's need to hide behind facades.

Born: April of 1962, 4 foster families of differing socio-economics, religions and locations. At 14 had judge send me to Tennessee Preparatory School in Nashville when last family didn't work out. Reassembled personality there, graduated Valedictorian in 1980.- 1 year college, 4 in Army, 2 for National Guard, 2 as night clerk convenience store, 9 as security guard, Y2K led to technical assistant for small brokerage firm in Nashville. Working toward MCSE certification. Not unambitious, just happy having enough to get by. Learning that desire and envy often lead to evil has kept my nose clean.

Was Libertarian until realizing that most Americans can't handle the concept of personal responsibility. Creeping Communism of great concern, Border Control another (presently surrounded by illegals from Mexico. I'm considering adding to my apartment door, in those nice metal letters, "The Gringos".)

Anti War On Drugs due to its failure and waste.
Americans need to know that terrorists are good Muslims while the peacable followers are bad Muslims. Judge for yourself: www.prophetofdoom.net.

I target shoot, read too much or not enough, fool with technology, waste too much time on Free Republic. Bless you all for your voting and activism.

January 6, 2004: Well, 4 years of service to the brokerage was just rewarded with an economic downsizing. Ironically, I helped automate myself out of a position. At least I was spared the horror so many are dealing with, having their tech jobs outsourced to India. Onward and upward, always.

The Tacitus reference- Roman consul to outlying territories of the Roman Empire in the early 100's. Wrote all he knew of his empire's history with extreme regard to factual presentation and even-handedness. Went so far as to weave criticisms of the Roman government into his reporting in a humorous way that comes through in the Latin to English translations (and just subtle enough to keep himself alive). Tacitus observed the purposeful importation of barbarians by the leadership while they blithely ignored the reports of those mercenaries running amok. Maybe half of what he'd written burned in the Library of Alexandria fire.

Worked at Dell Computer's main factory 30 minutes outside Nashville on a Temp agency contract, 10 1/2 hours per day, 4 to 6 days a week that was extended due to quality of my work.

March 2005: I didn't see a future with a company who's products were approaching saturation so went back to security guard employment in a building where Nashville's FBI branch operated out of. While there I did my best to encourage the agents to check into document fraud and the enabling of illegals to obtain TN license plates for use in surrounding states. In the meantime I worked part-time for a fellow FReeper maintaining his car wash.

Present Day: When that FReeper expanded to four carwashes in the county where I worked for Dell I left security to support his effort full time, and am relocating to Lebanon, Tennessee very soon to cut out the godawful commute time. I love the work and believe in the future of this business. If people are so insistant about worshipping their cars who am I to question their determination to throw their money at them? I only regret that it's yet another service industry in our nation where all productive capacities are being offshored. Should a war come up we're going to have to throw the towel in quickly if our foes have domination of some resource we used to make for ourselves. I wish to see the traitors responsible for this purposeful weakening of our nation do a short dance over empty space. While that's un-Christian I can't help feeling that way.

May God continue blessing our nation!
