About Me

My photo
The LS Voice
--old enough to remember Ronald Reagan, young enough to have the energy to see things through, and smart enough to know that questioning EVERYTHING is a good idea. I believe that the foundation of America is not just good - it's GREAT. The greatest threat to that foundation is not "enemies foreign and domestic" - rather it is apathy and ignorance. A lethal combination.
