Out Of The Closet Of Anonymity

So after a year of blogging under an alias, I decided to take a big step forward. The world has plenty of anonymous bloggers who have something to say about everything. I might as well give myself credit for my own words, even if doesn't make me very popular. If nothing else I can at least give myself credit for laying it all on the line, for not often do I pull punches.

I grew up in working man's Vermont, where a person's character was more important than the size of their bank account. Where soils sprouted crops not houses, and honesty and integrity were rewarded. I've never had a trust fund, and earned everything I have, which I admit isn't very much. Vermont is a land where the seasons indeed work for and against you. I could never live anywhere else and be happy.

I've been called a liberal Republican, and conservative Democrat, as well as a radical, and revolutionary. I call myself a Vermonter. One who feels with his heart and speaks what is on his mind, without fearing consequences. Brave or stupid I know not which, only time will tell.
