Who is BrooksBeast?

Greetings! I am a Texas resident for over 30 years with a passion for education, desiring a caring government (who stays out of our personal business), and a belief that we -- the voters -- can actually make changes happen. And... a healthy disrespect for the establishment, to which I belong.

Pinkdome says: Y'all make BrooksBeast feel welcome and give a little respect for those Brooks Brothers suit-wearing types that do what they do so we don't have to! Keep a lookout for the new folks that are going to start writing stuff and email them if you think they would give a shit.

how can you have a caring government and have one that stays out of your personal business??

do you mean you want a government that makes you feel better about the world so you don't feel any personal obligation to help anyone but at the same time condones and blesses whatever it is you do that others might condemn??

you can't have both...a government that can save a life can take a life
