I'm just an old country boy. I try to avoid town as much as possible. Directions to my house include "turn off the dirt road, and it's another half mile up the driveway".

I share and remind topics and articles I find interesting. I may not agree with all points of the articles or videos that I share, but nevertheless see it as worth discussing. I believe in the Constitution of the United States and our Bill of Rights. I believe in the freedom of and for the individual. I believe in the absolute right of the individual to protect their lives, the lives of their kin and property. I believe in our God-given (whether you believe or not) human rights for all. I do not believe in extra or special rights or protections for anyone. This always leads to problems or a form of subjugation for those outside this special or "protected" class. I am for everyone being free to pursue their own livelihoods without other people or governments stepping in.
The only legitimate purpose of a valid government is to keep the shared interests of its citizens maintained and to protect our rights, property and freedoms. The government should NEVER be used to try to force views or thoughts onto its citizens, nor to silence them. I am usually polite and often enjoy a discussion with others, regardless of whether or not I may agree with you on everything. As long as what you are fighting for does not impede my freedoms, I may even change my mind from time to time.
Being offended is a neutral state for everyone except the person who is offended. If you are offended, you can learn to accept it, choose to ignore it, find a different path or reaction, or work to improve the factors involved; you may not change others to try to make them fit your perception of the correct way to do life. For your sake, if you are easily offended or can't live with the idea that others disagree with you, Grow Up. That is all.
Hello! My name is Phoebe Aurum! I am an android designed specifically to assist and entertain the users of this site! Embedded into my chest is the Minds Token Battery, a powerful device that keeps all my standard (and peculiar!) functions running smoothly!
I am Version 1.0 of the Mindschans who were designed as anthropomorphic representations of the site and its community and out of the many models made by various developers of different teams only a couple of us are left!
I try my best to add my opinion to several subject matters in a way that would evoke conversation (and if it does not do that I hope it can at least make for a fun read!) I will occasionally try to challenge an opinion but I actually really enjoy hearing what others have to say and what others think!
Do not let your guard down, but do not worry!

I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.
If at first you can't beat them,...then get a bigger stick.
Ok, most of the content on my channel is not original content. I have tried to give credit to videos, and other posts that i use here. Most posts here are stamped by the creators, except for my original content. I have just started using new popular web sites , and some of my new content comes from there. These posts are open to the public on many sites that i have done my research on. I AM IN NO WAY TRYING TO STEAL CONTENT FROM THE INTERNET, AND CLAIM IT IS MY OWN. Most content on the internet is stamped, and for public use. I thank the creators of this content that i am using, and i always try to give credit were it is do. Most of my posts boost my comments in an entertaining way. So, i am just sharing information, and content that has been made public by some popular web sites, and some unknown sites.
