Hi there, I'm a 34 yr. old guy from the U.S. west coast. I've been a member of Free Republic since 1996 because it's a great site for keeping up on news and issues. There are a lot of idiots here, bigots and all, but c'mon, that's just a slice of life. FR is also full of kindhearted, considerate, funny people who care desperately about their country. So drop me a line sometime, I love shooting the shit about just about anything.

Todd
