So who am I? No one really.
I’m just your normal, everyday person. A little guy, like you. I don’t have much money, I don't have any stocks or an RRSP. I don’t have the best education or a university degree. I grew up on the lower end of the middle class spectrum, and I don’t have a great job. As a matter of fact, I don’t even have a job!
I'm just a normal, everyday person. No one really listens to me, like you. I've got many questions that I can't get a straight answer for. I have concerns for the welfare of our planet, for the preservation of our one and only home, like you.
I'm just a normal, everyday person. Just another unheard voice, like you. I am concerned about my family and the welfare of society (even though I hate everything this society stands for). However, I am still genuinely concerned because I live in this society, like you.
I'm no extremist or fanatic. I'm not looking to start a revolution. The movement has already begun, I need not start anything. I do not encourage, condone or promote any sort of violence towards anyone. Nor am I trying to impose and change anyone else's beliefs. I'm just simply expressing myself according to my Canadian Human Rights and Freedoms Act.
'Our Beautiful Disaster' allows me to express my personal views and beliefs on matters around the world that effect us as a whole. My views and my beliefs are my own. I am not right nor am I wrong in my opinions as they are mine and mine alone, if you share them - GREAT!! All I ask is for you to be open-minded enough to tolerate and respect my views, even if you do not share them. I am a huge advocate for tolerance, acceptance and respect of every single living organism on this planet, unconditionally. Like you, I am only human and there are many things that I do not like just the same. I voice those issues through my blog 'Our Beautiful Disaster'.
And that is about all you need to know.
