I graduated from high school in 1977 and from “four-year” college in 1983. In high school my emphasis was in science and in college my major was premed then biology. In college I took a few courses in English, such as grammar and composition. As an undergraduate I took more courses than most people to get my average back up. Finally, I graduated and was very disillusioned with college. I tried working and became even more disillusioned with that. Amazingly, my days have not been long enough to become a success. So, I’ll just have to rely on God. My last job was in 1987. I went on public assistance. I think that ran out because the county then put me on supplemental security income. I opposed “welfare reform” because that “reform” was really lowering welfare and turning it into workfare, which I have not had the time to participate in, which of course might be difficult for some people to believe. My education was in public high school and college except one year in a Christian college in the town the Scopes evolution trial took place. I sometimes feel like writing, and this site seems promising because it says common knowledge is alright to write about. I know thing which there is no way to get a reference for. As far as neutral articles is concerned, I do not know every point of view but have never pushed a point of view as far as I know. I read the neutrality article on Wikipedia long before anyone accused me of point of view pushing. The article said neutrality is the goal of the article which is why more than one author might be helpful. To expect any one author to know it all is unreasonable. There are plenty of things I don’t know. I don’t know how to find a lot of articles on one topic at a library, for example. I think I don’t know how most people pay their bills, because all I’ve heard is what “successful” people did. Honestly, most people were not at the top of the class. So, I know something about what biology majors go through, what people on welfare go through, and so forth. I’m not sure yet what I’ll want to write about.
