Introductions & Welcome

This is the first post for this blog, so if you happen to read it: welcome. If you happen to miss it, no problem. Things are archived. This is mainly a blog for issues related to the everyday experience of a citizen. Of course, I can't be a "typical" citizen, because there is no such thing, at least not in this country. I am a white male, yes, and 26 and living in California, but beyond this I am my own individual and to presuppose to represent everyone or some kind of "common" experience within one conscious mind is impossible, and frankly, arrogant. But what I will be doing is giving you this inidividual's processing of national, local and global issues from varying social, political and religious viewpoints. But what you will not get is a general surmising of such things; you will instead have this one person giving you the issue from his own particular context and how or whether it effects that context or not. It's a grab bag, folks.

My name is Michael Harmon, and I hope you enjoy the perspective.
