Common Sense
I'm a high school student who has an abnormal interest in politics. The reason that I call my interest abnormal is because of the fact that in spite of having lived in 12 different places on the east coast of the United States, I rarely ever find someone my age with remote interest in politics. This interest of mine is in fact so abnormal that I set up a blog where I regularly post political commentary.
I grew up with a generally conservative upbringing and family, but as I aged I began studying and educating myself in the fields of history and politics. This self-education has led me into becoming a liberal. I believe that the fact that I'm a liberal and belong to a conservative family has allowed me to see both sides of the political spectrum quite well, and has also allowed me to make better decisions when it comes to political matters.
Since I may seem like a hardcore liberal in some ways, you may be surprised when I say that I actually enjoy hearing conservatives talk about their point of view as well.
I used to have a general fear of letting my opinions out, but then I read this one quote by Charles Bukowski, "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence."
While I take a lot of interest in politics, I also read blogs with other topics. So if you see me on a food blog you shouldn't be surprised. :)
