Remember a time when you read something or saw something on TV and it really made you look at things in a different light? Unless it was for the worse, I'm guessing not. Overall I feel like society is moving rapidly towards a state of mind where we are sure of everything and cannot be swayed by any means unless it happens in your own lap. You can see this in the mindset in every political, religious, cultural, national, and racial group around. Can you imagine what it would take to change the mind of Ted Nugent about gun control or Bernie Sanders about socialism? Try telling someone who's a stout atheist that they should just give church a try or a devout Catholic that Sundays are better served napping and watching TV.
Have we always been like this, or is this information age turning us all into stubborn hard heads that can't step outside our own boxes to see the rest of the world? If we've all made our minds up on everything, then what is the purpose of broadcasting it on TV or posting about it on Facebook? Am I just a lost moderate who is looking both ways and trying to make sense of people?

What the hell is "A Fool For Thought"?
In quick summary, I have decided to take all these thoughts on various subject floating around in my head and put them down somewhere. I'm not too concerned at this point if anyone reads them, I just need to get them out there (out here, I guess).
Most of what I write will be based on my views and opinions, but I will make my best effort to avoid falsehoods and misleading information. I don't look to change the world with this blog, but maybe someone will get a kick out of something I write and just maybe have a new perspective to dwell on.
Subjects I plan to tackle include social, political, environmental, foreign affairs, local happenings, and pretty much whatever else pops into the old noodle. If you have a subject you would like my view on, please let me know. I may take you up or just flat out pass on it.
My background has nothing to do with writing, nor do I have any experience doing it aside from typical schooling and community college courses. If my grammar is not perfect, please do not assume that I care to know about it. You most likely understand what I was getting at and don't need to take it any further than that. I have served and continue to serve in the military as a reserve member, but do not let that fool you. I am as moderate as they come these days. For example I believe a woman should be able to choose to have an abortion, but that she should be able to pack heat to defend herself if she chooses as well.
The name "A Fool For Thought" just came to me as I pondered what I was going to write about. Basically these are my thoughts, and I am a fool to think anyone would care to read them or take anything from them.
Enjoy,
