Lately, I’ve been out of the loop on news and politics in the U.S.  I just haven’t been motivated to stay involved.  Everything seems to be getting worse in D.C.  National debt, health care, and corporate bailouts are a few of the issues that have been the most controversial and seem to be progressing in the wrong way.  Does age bring on cynicism?  It seems to be doing that with me.  I’ve gotten very fed up with both sides.  Both claim to do things, but then all that is accomplished is that the federal government has gotten bigger and more powerful.

My name is Daniel and I turned 19 on April 22. I really enjoy digital photography, digital animation, video-editing, html-writing, and many other things. I am the oldest of 4 children in this order, Me-18, Amanda-17, Braden-11, and Mikayla-7. I’m a Christian and the church I go to is a Church of Christ, but we don’t follow the denominational standard practices. We believe that one’s relationship with God and accepting Jesus as Savior will lead to Heaven, not which church one goes to. I’m not saying there are multiple ways to get to Heaven, Jesus is the only way. Not Buddha, not Allah, not enlightenment.

Anyway, I am somewhere in between Republican and Libertarian, but I’ll mostly vote Republican because it’s more practical. I’m pretty conservative; I think that we should change quite a few things to the way they were back before the World Wars. I’m against gay marriage, and abortion should happen only for a few reasons. I don’t believe there should be any national legislation for or against abortion, because that is something the states have jurisdiction over. Then some states could ban it and others would probably allow it. The federal government should really keep its neck out of so many things. It’s was created to manage national defense, national order (civil rights and liberties), international relations, interstate commerce (examples would be national and international corporations, highways, internet, and basically anything else that crosses state boundaries), and a few other roles, not what it has shaped into since the New Deal and Democrat control. I believe strongly in the death penalty. Public executions for major offenses should be brought back. It is a great deterrent. I can’t think of more to say right now so that’s the end of my autobiography.
