- I'm a retired - or on sabbatical, I haven't decided which yet - applications programmer. My formal education was in Quantitative Analysis and Research Design and Methodology in Political Science. That was a long time ago but I still enjoy dissecting polls, statistics, and sweeping generalizations.

Thank you for your work, I found you site on Urban Legend. Your work seems thought, and not slanted to the left or right. What the world needs. Thanks
Thank you for the comment. It's just what I needed to hear.
Agreed with Anonymous. I've been reading your blog for an hour or so now, and the most difficult part is not to jump off to the links you post. It's good to see the reliance on reason instead of a flamer's purgation.
Greg - Thanks for letting me know. ("Purgation" - what a great word.)
Links are deadly aren't they? Start jumping and before you know it, hours have gone by and you can't remember how you got where you are.
I just want to further the kudos. My mom forwarded your blog from my uncle, and quite frankly, I'm amazed and happy someone is analyzing, thinking and debating, and not just pontificating. Thank you for setting a fine of example of what the highest goal of informed citizenship could look like
Wow, Chris, I got quite a charge out of hearing my stuff is considered worth passing along like that.
It means a lot to me that people appreciate my approach. So often it's easy to believe everyone only sees things through a partisan lens but I try very hard to remember that most people are sensible and honest and want what they believe is best even if they all have different ideas of what that means. Reading comments like the ones I've gotten today helps me keep the faith.
