Welcome to the Blog of 'A Person Unnamed'...

Hey, thanks for visiting!

This is the blog of a guy who happily conforms to middle-america on the outside, and just wants to say the things he's thinking inside somewhere.

In this forum, I hope to make short, hopefully-insightful posts about things one can't usually say aloud, on politics, religion, values systems, current events, whatever. Look in particular for thoughts on odd or amusing things, and how I tie those things to larger values constructs of society.

Thanks to a screwed-up family life, I was raised by both liberal and conservative parents, and sometimes feel like I'm one of the few who really 'gets' both values systems... and still can't figure out a way to make each group understand each other.

Likely to be of the most interest to folks, I also really find the fetish world fascinating... but my participation in it is purely limited to fantasy scenarios in the bedroom... as I think it would be safe to say is the case of most people, although my wife and I really enjoy doing roleplay and scenarios that I think would lump us into the category of 'kinksters,' but not fetishists. I hope to use this blog to talk about stuff I can't talk about with folks from work, church, or the PTA.

I'm not looking to change the world, I'm just looking to contribute to the discussion an put out some interesting, unpopular, amusing or perhaps-shocking thoughts and viewpoints in a way that doesn't put me or my family at risk. At the same time, I do hope to use this as a sounding board for documenting my own values system.

Here are the three key principles around this blog:

1. I will always be friendly and polite. However, I will not tolerate intolerance, hatred, or those whose activities or actions who put other's lives at risk.

2. My posts will be kept short, less than 500 words... unless they're not. It's a fast-moving world, but we also have to acknowledge that complexity exists, especially when discussing values. Long posts will be flagged with a short-attention-span warning.

3. My posts will have a f-ing point, preferably quotable, and somewhere (title or 1st or last pararagraph) will be easy to cut and paste for Tweeting.

Please post your comments, contribute to the debate. I'm really hoping to make some online friends and have some great conversation here.
