Hello, sorry for taking so long to do this- I signed up a few months ago and lurked around before finally getting around to introducing myself. For a long time people have been calling me Walt and I accept it, though my legal name is Justin and you're welcome to know me by either w.a.s.p.-y moniker. I grew up listening to talk radio every morning with my father- a police officer who was abusive when I was younger and has taken to physical intimidation now that I am his size- so I was very receptive to FDR. To give you an idea of how far I've come, I actually found Stefan while attempting to find a way to record the Rush Limbaugh show so I could listen to it in its entirety. It was very easy to be a brainwashed conservative when you listen to the same man for four hours every day and thankfully I've abandoned all of the partisan demagoguery in favor of principled reasoning- and my life has been immensely improved for it. I came for the politics and stayed for the radical transforming effects of empathy, honesty and self-knowledge. Since devoting a good deal of time and energy into reason I have noticed an improvement among my current relationships, my general mood, and my inner dialogue. Stefan, or rather the truth that Stef exposed me to, has improved my life in so many ways and I couldn't begin to show my gratitude. I look forward to being completely honest with a group of people for the first time in my life and I hope to enjoy many long discussions with other freedom minded individuals.
