Tad
New York, NY
I am a 30-year old neuroscientist living in NY city. I am the product of a turbulent suburban upbringing in Houston, TX. Religion? I am an atheist, but I try to respect all religious views. Still, I bristle at evangelical fanaticism that doesn't make any effort to respect my views in return. Politics? My family thinks I am a liberal, and my friends think I'm a conservative, so I guess I'm in the middle.

Joseph
Ava, MO
I am a 26 year old man. I basically grew up in the construction industry, and feel I am greatly lacking in the field of education. Striving to learn and expand my thought process is a goal that I try to run after, somtimes anyway. I am divorced with a beatiful daughter who lives with her mother. My views vary widley depending on the issue, but I am very strong on individual rights. I pride myself in looking at an issue from anothers point of view, but also somtimes I can be very bull-headed.
