Hello, everyone! It's been a long time since I've been here (as in several years), so I thought I would introduce myself. I'm a regular working guy living in Missouri. As my username implies, I'm a Democrat and a proud member of the ACLU. I'm a manager in a small, family owned business. I enjoy respectful, thoughtful debate and discussion with people of all races religions, genders, sexual orientations, and political views. I look forward to engaging in some spirited debate here.
