My username is merely the Latin for arrogant, or proud, depending on how you interpret it. I do lack in credentials, though I bring an elastic and liberal (pertaining to general lifestyle, not politics) mind. I have joined to better myself through the acquisition of knowledge, political wisdom, et alia. I would gladly appreciate recommendations for starting points on the USMB. Thank you very much to the creators of this forum, as well as those who will donate help to me in the future.
