For those of you, the one or two people, who know me you know this topic comes up often. Many think it but the truly enlightened just say it. I often wrestle with the idea of which box should I be put in. If you have read any of the entries in this Blog I am sure you have already put me into one of the boxes. But after reading the definitions of the words I am perplexed.

To me I see myself as well a little bit of them all. but I must say that misanthrope just feels right.
But really lets look at this. I am a strong willed individual who is not afraid to speak his mind, Often times people do not agree with me and that is their right. But because I say what I feel does that make me a bad person or should I be labled with one of this often negative adjectives. I think not, I think that more people need to stop being so damn afraid of being called a name and speak their minds. We are so caught up in trying to be PC that we lie to each other on a daily basis. Is this the type of society that you want to live in? One where you can not trust anything that anyone tells you because it is traditional to lie in order to not offend?

I'll tell you now that anyone who knows me I would rather have you tell me the truth at any cost then to lie to me outright. I may be hurt by the truth but I'll hate you for lying.

I'm done.
