Hi all!
I completely forgot to introduce myself, so sorry. Better late than never, I suppose!
I'm an avid observer of politics and enjoy a good debate. My approach is to be as fair as possible and I can be seen debating from both sides of the coin sometimes. My belief is that the middle ground tends to contain a more clarified truth than does any polar leaning, so I try my best to hear all sides. That said, I have "Independent" qualities as I sometimes find myself adamently arguing for something seen as very "Liberal" or "Conservative". I like to keep people guessing
My educational background is International Relations with a specialization in Asian Peace and Conflict studies. I also have my Masters in Oriental Medicine, making me a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Along the way, in addition to my native language of English, I have also become fluent in French and Mandarin. I'm currently in the process of opening a practice with a business partner in Vancouver, Canada, where I live full time.
I've lived in China, Brazil, the United States, and Mexico, delving into the politics and medicinal practices of each region. The diversity of my travels has taught me a lot about people and so I would like to bring my own balanced approach to these forums as I challenge myself and others in our views of the world.
