Holy sh*t, my first post! Whoohoo!
*ahem*Ok, now that that's out of my system, where to start?

Why did I create this blog?
I have a lot of thoughts on survival, politics, and law; and needed somewhere to put them other than my head. Twitter is too short for my ADD moments, and other sites I might use seem too clunky. Most of the blogs I read regularly are on Blogspot, so I decided to give it a try.

Who Am I?
I'm a mid-twenties college student who grew up on welfare, and wants to get off the system. When I turned 18, I had a choice of either entering the workplace and immediately earning about twice what I had been getting on welfare(very tempting), or sticking with being poor for a couple more years and go to college. After college, of course, I would(hopefully) make much more money.

Politics
I've held for a long time now that in part of being a good person meant being a good citizen. Because of this, I have had an interest in politics since before I turned 18.
I have slight libertarian leanings, but at the end of the day I am a conservative; I believe in the principles that the Republican party gives lip service to.

Law
My study of politics has naturally turned to law. After all, laws are simply a codified version of what behavior a society expects people to follow, and politics is the discussion of said behavior. I've decided to work in Constitutional law someday, and so at the moment I am pursuing an Associate's degree in Criminal Justice. I'll later move on to a Master's in Law, and then actual law school.*exhausted yay*

Survival
I've been interested in survivalism for a couple of years now, ever since the recent zombie fad coincided with the aftermath of Katrina. Sitting around the coffee shop near the bookstore with my friends and discussing what our 'zombie plan' was, then going home and watching more news about Katrina made me realize that a survival plan for one disaster could readily be applied to others.
