Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web.

By demanding “equity” everywhere, the Democrats are proposing a lowest-common-denominator society.
