While my interests in philosophical endeavors place my interest in an infinite number of possible topics, I primarily focus on the theological/religious themes. I have recently become involved with our local Interfaith Ministries organization, as well as involving myself in a personal study of the various religious organizations in my area. I am doing so by visiting and participating with any religious denomination who will allow me to do so.

I am currently, through my career as a sales consultant, designing and implementing a community forum website which will be intended to provide a link between the general public and the business owners of our community. It is my hope that this forum will provide a useful resource not only in my community, but also to others through a franchise development.

While I find personal achievement and enlightenment through my personal study regimen, I do at times find discomfort in my inability to balance my social, professional, and studious activities. I have been known to become so involved in my studious activities as to become withdrawn from the rest of my life. Were it not for my wife and child, I would probably completely withdraw from society at some point, at least as much is as possible.

I am currently applying effort to compiling my thoughts into a book, or as is developing, a variety of books in the hopes of future publication. I am involving myself in this form of on-line publication in the hopes of acquiring support/input from other like-minded individuals to further my publication ambitions.

Education > College Search Is it worth it to go to college?

The system of higher education we currently have is the new opiate of the masses. While education in and of itself is the single most important hallmark of an effective adulthood, the institution of academia has become a symbolic ticket to a better life. The mere possession of this ticket says nothing of the individual, except that the holder could merely afford to buy it.

In the past, a collegiate education was the norm for any wealthy member of the highest social echelon. This education was not intended to raise the student's social standing, nor was it intended to provide ...
