I have alot of catching up to do

I try to write here once a week and have been derelict despite having some good topics (at least 4)  I've wanted to mention.  It's late though and I needed to get this one out quickly before I forgot. 

Thank you

This Thank you is for my parents.  They probably could have done some things better in raising me.  Any parent could.  They did however give me one thing that I will never be without.  They never indoctrinated me. 
Though strong liberals and possessing of very specific spiritual views,  they never forced me to believe any of what they did.  They never pulled out a "because I said so"  or "It just is"  on social, religious, ethical or philosophical matters.  If I disagreed or asked why they explained as best they could the reasoning behind their beliefs.  As a result I hold some very seperate views from them these days.  However more so I tend to agree with them,  I think that there is a tendency towards certain viewpoints in those who refuse to brainwash their kids from a young age.  And that view of free thinking and self discovery is the utmost limit of the programming I received.  So thank you Mom and Dad.  I appreciate it and love you all the more for it.
