I'm new here. I came to this forum after goofin' around at a political forum for a while. I discovered that most of my posts seemed to become more philosophical and less political. So I thought a philosophy forum might be more fulfilling.

I'm not particularly interested in philosophy as a discipline. I'm not very influenced by the great philosophers of history. My influences are generally, but not limited to, the earthy types, including, my grandmother, Will Rogers, Mark Twain, and Buddha. Mostly, my philosophy is a hodgepodge of whatever strikes my fancy at a particular moment. As I see it, it can be no other way.
