Hi #Minds. I'm a big believer in the necessity of free speech to western culture, and a free society. I've decided to join minds to support this cause. I believe we need a forum where everyone can be heard, a marketplace of ideas, where they can be judged on their individual merit. That said, I've never been a chatty person, so you won't hear from me that much. I prefer to leave you all guessing, rather than open my mouth and prove I'm an idiot.
