Hello everyone and welcome to Musings and Rants. I am hoping
to turn this blog into my flagship endeavor to illuminate those that I come
into contact with about what’s truly happening in this country, as well as
other things. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll have a grudge against dish soap and
take to the internet to release some tension. Otherwise, I plan to focus mainly
on the topics of the day. Combined with my Facebook page Occupy Media (www.facebook.com/occupymedia2013),
I hope to foster an environment of debate and discussion. I am not particularly
interested in only interacting with those that think along the same lines as I
do. I also, enjoy sharing ideas with those from the other side in an attempt to
find the middle ground that our legislators refuse to find. If the people can
stand together then it isn’t unreasonable to hold our elected body to the same
standards.
I feel that one of the problems we face, and believe me
there are many, is that our citizenry is too focused on arguing with each other
over one or two issues. And while we’re distracted with gay rights and abortion
laws, pieces have been moved to position corporations at the head of the table
in this country. So while we bitch and moan about the details of the Affordable
Care Act, major corporations have alleviated their tax liability, decreased employees’
rights and increased profits one hundred fold. But I digress…for now.
For the sake of true introductions, I suppose I should give
a little background about myself. Please keep in mind that I’m not usually the
type to speak in great length about myself, I do feel that my readers should
know at least a little about me. My name is Dwayne Mulder and I live in
Indianapolis, Indiana and have my entire life. I’ve spent most of my adult life
dreaming of living on the west coast, but have yet to see that dream fulfilled.
I have no children but do have wonderful nieces and a nephew that I have not
spent enough time with. I graduated from Northwest High School in 1997 and am
currently enrolled at Ivy Tech. One would think that I would perhaps be
majoring in journalism or political science but that’s not the case. My major
is for an Associate of Applied Science Computer Information Technology. As it
turns out, I’m just a computer nerd that has had more than he can take and is
finding any way possible to make a difference in this country.
Moving forward, I plan to get at least one post in a week. I
plan to integrate my Facebook endeavor’s with this blog and grow an audience of like minded and differently minded people so that maybe we can band together and
begin a grassroots movement to bring forth much needed change to this country.
I fully plan to respond personally to each comment left on the blogger website.
The time is now so please make sure that if you have a question, ask it. If you
like what I’m saying, share it with your friends and family. If you dislike
what I’m saying, let me know. We can chat about it. Follow me on Facebook,
(search for Occupy Media 2013), Twitter, (@OccupyMedia2013) or email me
@dmulder213@gmail.com. I look forward to the future and what I see brewing on
the horizon. Come and join me and let’s make some noise together.
