Hello everyone,
I am new to the Gulch and thought I would introduce myself as the site suggests.

My name is Willie Kriegs. I am 28. Never went to college. Except for a few classes in order to get my Associates through the Air Force. I am full time in the Air National Guard as an Aircraft Mechanic and Maint. Scheduler. I have recently, well I guess always just never labeled it, became interested in philosophy. I have recently came to the decision to give up a lot that I was raised on and accept reason as my only faith, contradiction in terms I kno. Very recently I've read Atlas Shrugged and it's made me want even more then I did before. I want to have plenty to offer, I want to be recognized by the men of Atlantis as a value who they'd like to recruit. My goals are to go back to school once my son is grown and I can sacrifice more of my income and more of my time until then I plan to study philosophy on my own and maybe with the help of like minded people. I guess most everyone here is concerned and knowledgable in philosophy but if there are any philosophers among us I would like to talk with you and learn what I can.
Looking forward to great discussions.
