: About Me

I ought to update my about me section more often. If any of you have sent me e-mails without response I apologize but I spend most of my online time on myspace and then helium, which doesn't leave much time for hotmail anymore. Feel free to contact me on myspace but in the meantime I will try to find time to look through all the junk mail I get on hotmail to see if there is anything amongst the clutter worth looking at.

I live in Arizona where I am attempting to become a writer while at the same time getting involved in Arizona and national politics. I've recently joined the Libertarian party after realizing that the Republican party's main hold on me was that it seemed to be less corrupt then the Democratic Party and I finally realized that wasn't as true as I had initially thought. I am approaching the first anniversary of my marriage to a wonderful woman who is doing her best to encourage me in my writing. I joined this sight after recieving advice from a friend that I should find a sight like this and start writing for it. I'm not sure if this is what he meant but I've written two articles already and I love it. Of course I should also spend some time on writing my novels that have been floating in my head just waiting to appear in print for the first time.

I can be found on Myspace or Facebook under the name Ronald E. Gibson Jr. I approve all friend requests and sometimes post on my blog what I consider my best articles, as well as articles that get rejected by helium but which I thought were good enough to salvage. Let me know what you think of my writing. I crave feedback.

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Was President Obama right to order closed the terrorist detention camp at Guantanamo Bay?

7 of 9

The Guantamo Bay Detention camp has been a stain on the reputation of this country. It is a place where Americans ignored the fundamental beliefs about humanity on which this nation was founded. Examples being "innocent until proven guilty", and "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." These prisoners have been political pawns of an administration that wanted to be seen to be tough on terror. Which essentially means that people only have the rights that the government chooses not to ignore and we shall all be safer th...
