: About Me

I like to debate and write, and I am too educated for my own good, one BA, one post-baccalaureate degree, one Masters, and one Diploma in Education. However, I would like to thank Helium for offering such a great opportunity to voice my opinion. I have been doing research for many years and I get a kick out of reading people's opinion especially in the newspapers and magazine's section based on what people have to say.
