Married age 47 father of two (boy, 13 and girl, 11 as of end of 2003) husband of one.

Electrical engineer, born and raised in Greenville, SC. Strong Christian, but do enjoy the occasional adult beverage. Have realized Libertarians for the most part only want to legalize drugs. Some are different, but for the most part...

I love Free Republic for the information database it provides and the topics are usually very discussion-worthy. Elections are never going to be the same for anyone living through the Bush-Gore soiree.

I am an optimist, but understand the cynic's view.
