Introduction

I wanted to write a blog on subjects I am interested in and hopefully stimulate some meaningful debate. So a little background on myself, I am a former software engineer and now a real estate developer, just turned 34, living in Central Florida. Politically I am a moderate, and I tend to vote Republican because I view the Republican party as the lesser of two evils (more on that later). I have two children, one 7 months old and one 4 years old. As far as my religion, I am an agnostic, and my wife and parents are Hindu. Through this blog I hope to explain why both political parties are awful and why the country is so polarized, why free markets beat government intervention, and why religion is the root of all evil. Easy enough, huh? :)
