I have been a member of the board for a while, but have seldom posted anything. Just trying to figure out how to do it on this board.

Religion: LDS. Raised Mormon from a long line of Mormons. I do not believe something simply because it is in the scripture. I think Prophets are not infallible, but generally are inspired to give us what we deserve at the time. My favorite general authority when I grew up was Marion G Romney. I like J Reuben Clark on the political end.

Politics: Libertarian. I have been active in the Utah Republican Party but no longer have any trust in that party to to accomplish my political ends. We now have two parties dedicated to big government. Dems are the best at increasing the size of government inside our borders, and Republicans are most effective at increasing our government outside of our borders.

Personal life: I am nearly as old as BYU71. 5 adult kids. 14, soon to be 16 grandkids. I live in Washington County Utah and love the winters but try to get out of the heat in the summer.

I don't attack or call people names on Internet boards (you're an idiot if you do) , but I seem good at pissing people off anyway. Especially Republicans and traditional Mormons. Go figure.
