I’m pleased to find a site in West Michigan of like minded people. I’m a divorced Father of two, a Supervisor, an Ex-Senior Drill Instructor that took an early retirement from the Marine Corps, an ex-Night Club Disc Jockey, I’m actually listed in the Disco DJ Hall of Fame, I know it sounds corny but it was hip back then, so stop laughing. I’m also listed in the Hustle Dancers Hall of Fame, not the line dance Hustle, it’s more a Ballroom dance, like Salsa on steriods, some people call it Latin Hustle, it’s an East Coast thing, you probably wouldn’t understand. I lean more liberal in my political views so therefore I tend to vote Democratic. I believe in evolution because I find it logical, observable and measurable while religious people insist you just need to have faith in what someone wrote in their Holy book many years ago. I believe all life on earth, and the entire universe for that matter, is connected. I don’t believe some spiritual being has created an intelligent design for life on this planet or an all knowing God, who coincidentally looks exactly like us, has predetermined every second of our destiny. I believe man is in control of his own destiny, that we need to work together to save our planet for the generations to come and that all living things should be considered equally important. I believe differing religious ideologies drive humans to war against their fellow man and to destroy our environment without much concern because they’re taught that their lives on this planet are only temporary. Their true home, their everlasting life, their 72 Virgins, will be rewarded else where, so if they trash this planet, why should they care. I believe this one life and this little blue marble we all share is all that we’ll ever have so we need to work together to preserve it.
