[freedumb2003]

I chose it years before — an independent chain of events led me to the “2003” (obviously several years before 2003).

The Freedumb part was a bit more conscious. It is a bit smart-alecky (which follows my personality), but also I wanted to convey the idea that I am “dumb” in terms of having so much to learn, from so many who know so much.

I will take my arguments, and my knowledge, to the precipice with anyone — but, when I have been bested, I try to acknowledge that (difficult when I brick-wall myself into a corner but I somehow survive even those).

Thanks, freedumb2003. I was just wondering, because a lot of lefties opposed to Bush's 2003 "Operation Iraqi Freedom" mocked the effort as "Operation Freedumb".
