The Purpose of This Blog...

    So this is my first blog. I have actually been "blogging" for many years now, except talking to myself, as it was basically a typed journal. But now I have decided to try sharing my thoughts with others. I have many, many interests, and the goal of this blog is to cover my various thoughts and rants on various subjects.
   
    You'll notice the blog is called "Civics and Everything Else I Love," well, the first part is because I am a bit of a policy wonk. By "policy wonk" I don't mean some authority on various subjects, but rather that I am very passionate about policy, everything from economic policy (itself made up of monetary and fiscal policy (which itself is made up of tax policy, budget policy, etc...)) to healthcare policy to defense policy to environmental policy to foreign policy and so forth. And of course, that's the big, national-level stuff. I also am very passionate about local, county, and state level policy. Urban policy, relating to cities, I am a huge fan of as well.

    In addition to policy, I also have many other interests: business, entrepreneurship, economics, finance, economic history, architecture, arts, film, literature, books, physical culture and health and fitness, engineering, astronomy, physics, mathematics, computer science (I have an amateur knowledge in mathematics and computer science right now though, I am working to remedy though), robotics, space exploration, etc...there are others as well, but you get the idea, I like a lot of stuff!

I post with the name "MechMan." Why MechMan, you may ask...? Well, really because I simply couldn't think up another name. I like mechanical things and I am a man, so..."MechMan" :D

Comments on my various opinions and rants are of course welcome, try to be constructive though when criticizing.
