Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to KiplingKat’s, or to some of you RHYLL’s, weblog. Thank you for stopping by. For along time I resisted getting a blog because, hey, who cares what I have to say? But I’ve been such persistent poster on various message boards it’s pretty obvious that I care what I have to say anyway, and if what I say entertains or sparks an interest in someone else, well bully for me!

So after tiring of playing in other people’s playgrounds, I decided it was time. I'm a total noob at this, so I ask for your patience. My hope is this blog will provide a sort of nexus of all my various interests exposing those that come to it for one subject matter to things they might find interesting in other topics.

So some information where I am coming from might interest some: I’m a woman approaching my mid thirties. I was born and raised in a rural New England and moved to the greater Los Angeles area with my family while in my teens. I attend college part time at night for my AA in History and will be moving onto a four year to study Maritime History and Archeology at the end of Fall semester 2005. I am single, have multiple pets, and work in cube.

I am have political leanings both to the left and to the right: My primary political concerns are the Environment, Freedom of Speech and Education, but I also believe in the 2nd Amendment. I am Pro-Choice and believe in the Death Penalty (under extreme cases). I believe that capitalism has proven itself to be the most durable and socially permeable economic system, but strongly believe that laizze’ faire capitalism would only lead to this country’ ruin. I would like to see Big Business getting out of Government and Government getting out of people private lives. And so on and so forth and such. More on that at other times.

I enjoy SciFi, Tolkien, classical fiction and my sport of choice is NASCAR :), so you can expect some entries about the races once the season starts.

So welcome to Kip's Commentary. I look forward to chatting with you and hope I can provide some entertainment, information and maybe together we can find some insight.
